Due to suspension, Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to participate in Portugal’s 9-0 triumph over Luxembourg on September 12. Consequently, when the 38-year-old striker suits up again for this weekend’s slate of games, he will be in peak physical condition.
Ronaldo recently shared a picture of himself and his colleagues rehearsing, writing, “Happy to be back.” Ronaldo is looking great right now with the Al Nassr shirt. In the Saudi Arabia National Championship of the 2023–2024 season, Ronaldo participated in four games and recorded six goals and four assists.
During a recent training session at Al Nassr, Ronaldo was buzzing.
Ronaldo and his colleagues had already won the Arab Club Championship Cup in August. Ronaldo scored six goals to win the title of “Top Scorer” in this competition. The Portuguese superstar is currently going for both the AFC Champions League crown and the national championship.
Former player and current coach of Saudi Arabia’s U23 team Saleh Al-Mohammadi thinks Ronaldo and his teammates at Al Nassr may aim for a fantastic season.
The 43-year-old former midfield player predicts that Al Nassr will win the AFC Champions League in 2023–2024. On September 20, the host team’s away game versus Persepolis Club (Iran) will likely mark Ronaldo’s tournament debut. Earlier that night on September 16, in the National Championship’s sixth round, Al Nassr squared off against Al Raed.
Earlier this year, Ronaldo said, “I want to set a few records in Al Nassr after breaking all the records in Europe.” With 38 goals this season, Hamzah Idris currently holds the Al Nassr record for most goals scored in a season. Even though the 2023–2024 season hasn’t even begun, Ronaldo can try to surpass this record after he has scored 12 goals across all competitions.
