Al Nassr lost to Al-Hilal in the final of the King's Cup of Saudi Arabia. This is the seventh tournament lost since Cristiano Ronaldo signed in late 2022.
After the game, the 39-year-old Portuguese player lay on the field and cried. His teammates and club staff tried to console him. The footballer left the field without calming down and continued to cry on the bench a few minutes later.
This season, the team was eliminated from the Asian Champions League, lost to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Arabian Super Cup semifinals, and finished second in the league.
Last season, Al Nassr also finished second in the league, was eliminated from the Saudi Arabian Super Cup, losing to Al-Ittihad in the semifinals, and lost in the semifinals of the King's Cup to Al-Wahda.
Thus, with Ronaldo on the team, Al Nassr won only one trophy - the Arab Champions League, which is considered a friendly tournament.
