Yesterday, Cristiano Ronaldo's team Al-Nassr lost again. Al-Nassr gave a very competitive match against Al-Ittihad. Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo who are currently one of the best players in this Saudi league both scored one goal each yesterday. Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have both contributed significantly to the team. Good performances from Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr players on the field made it look like the match would be a draw. But after 90 minutes in extra time an Al Ittihad player scored a goal, this goal gave Al Ittihad the win and they won the match. Al-Ittihad are now top of the Saudi Premier League points table with a win against Al-Nassr.
You are right, the performance of both teams made it look like the match was going to be a draw, but in the added time, Al-Ittihad scored a goal with a wonderful shot from one of their stars, Steven Bergwijn, and the defeat of Al-Nasr was confirmed. Al-Nasr, who is in fourth place, has 25 points, and Al-Ittihad is in the top position with 36 points. Neither team could score in the first session, but they had a tendency to play defensively and offensively and I enjoyed their match a lot. Karim Benzema scored in the 55th minute of the second session and Ronaldo paid for the goal in the 57th minute of the match and the game was going on in extreme tension, but Al-Ittihad secured the victory with another goal in the last minute of the match. Ronaldo is scoring goals regularly and his performance was very promising and it seems that his performance is getting better with age. Although the team lost in the previous match, his style of play was very impressive.

Yeah Al Itithad won the match and I think it's luck in the last minutes, Al Nassr actually can control the match but as a home team Al Ittihad can provide dangerous attacks. We see Al Ittihad like a different team from the previous 2 seasons and they look more solid this season, especially Benzene who are actively scoring in almost every match, while Al Nassr so far unable to play consistently and they lost 2 times and 1 draw in the last 5 matches. Now we only hope Al Hilal as the main competitor to win the title because they are still on the track based on points.
Al Ittihad lost the percentage of ball possession in the match until 30 minutes. Accurate Passes Al Nassr is also dominant in statistics. Hope Al Nassr wins in this match I also hope because the media is very enthusiastic about reporting Ronaldo while strengthening Al Nassr.
Al Ittihad's motivation to win big in order to maintain the position of the standings because Al Hilal continues to try to maintain a trophy at the end of this season.
I hope Al Nassr wins so that Saudi Pro League competition will be tougher.
Pioli still needs to improve his team's attack because I see Al Nassr is not so sharp.
With this result, Al Nassr's chances of approaching the championship title are getting thinner, on the other hand Al Ittihad sits comfortably at the top with a difference of 5 points from Al Hilal.

Ronaldo is too old to carry Al Nassr to success.
In a football team there are 11 players on the field, and Ronaldo would not be able to defeat 11 opposing players alone. This has been the biggest mistake of the Al Nassr management, who are thinking that only Ronaldo would be able to defeat the opponents alone. In my opinion, Al Nassr is more focused on making money and not on winning the title. Ronaldo is very popular, the stadium is full of people to watch him, the big televisions also pay to watch him play, the big companies also pay Al Nassr for advertising space. So the Al Nassr management is more focused on making money. If they really wanted to win the title, then they would have hired a good coach and more good players.
to give a practical example of what I'm talking about:
Cristiano Ronaldo has reached 50 total goals and assists for club/country in 2024! ✨
916 career goals.

Al Nassr lost the game, but the media's focus is on Ronaldo and with that Al Nassr continues to make money
Al Nassr had to swallow another bitter defeat, they lost focus towards the end of the match, now the effort to become a title challenger team is getting thinner. The Saudi Pro League has only been running for 13 weeks, Al Nassr is already 11 points behind, most likely Pioli will not be able to present a trophy this season.
Yep. Again, Al Nassr failed to win the match. With this defeat, Al Nasrr is surely getting further away from the top position. Even Al Nassr position is overtake by Al Qadisiyah. Al Nassr is in the 4th place now, I think Al Nassr is only possible to finish this season in the 3rd place. The 1st place and 2nd place will be competed by Al Ittihad and Al Hilal. Sure, it is more obvious that the race for the title will be for Al Ittihad and Al Hilal only.Al Ittihad who experienced very severe chaos last season, is now rising and performing impressively, I think, they only need to worry about Al Hilal in the future.
Al Ittihad knows how to fix the problem. They don't only focus on rebuilding the attacking line, they also make their defense and midfield line to be stronger. It is a bit different with Al Nassr that they look like more focusing on attacking line only. By the way, it is true that Al Ittihad only compete with Al Hilal for the 1st place. Al Nassr already lost their chance to compete for the title.Ronaldo is too old to carry Al Nassr to success.
Ronaldo still could show his best performance. In this match, Ronaldo scored 1 goal.Why you blame him? The weakness of Al Nassr is on the defense line, dude.. Kindly blame the defenders!!
We can say that Benzema, who left the country last year due to the problems he had with the fans and was thought to never return, is shouldering the Al Ittihat Team this year.
Today, he opened the scoring curtain again in the Al Nassr match and scored his 10th goal for his team this year.
Benzema scored in the 55th minute of the match. Two minutes after this goal, his former Real Madrid teammate Ronaldo scored in the 57th minute and the match became 1-1. 90+1. Bergwijn scored the deciding goal in the minute and Al Ittihad won the match 2-1.
Interestingly, the decline continues in Al Nassr. It was their 2nd defeat in the last 3 matches.
Al Nassr suffered a big blow on the way to the championship and the difference with the leader Al Ittihat was 11 points. It is very difficult for the star group Al Nassr to become champions this year too.

Ronaldo scored again but now it's two defeats for Al Nassr, things aren't looking good for them now and they need to do something about thier current squad or they'll lose the opportunity they had to compete for the title. Al Nassr teams isn't balanced and I don't understand why the people incharge of the club haven't realized this since. The teams need better defenders and also need additional forwards to support Ronaldo so when he isn't able to score, others can do the scoring and the club wins the game. The midfield of Al Nassr need better players than what they currently have. Al Nassr should invest through the transfer window that's coming up.

Although Al Ittihad lost in possession of the ball, the chances they managed to create were better than Al Nassr and unfortunately your hopes for Al Nassr's victory in this big match did not happen after the previous score was 1-1, Bergwijn became the hero of the goal he created in the 90+1 minute changing the score to 2-1 and leading Al Ittihad to emerge as the winner.Al Ittihad's motivation to win big in order to maintain the position of the standings because Al Hilal continues to try to maintain a trophy at the end of this season.

Statistics are not always important because what is more important than statistics is the final result with a win.
My hope is that the Saudi pro league competition will be tighter. If the final result is that Al Nassr loses, for me that is a good result for Al Ittihad. For gamblers, they are very happy with Al Nassr. For me, I don't really hope that Al Nassr has to win. The story of how Al Nassr can hope to win a trophy at the end of the season is now closed, although there are still a few pages left to make it possible. I think it is very thin.

Edit: LOL Both teams have just scored in the 55 and 57 minutes, that's crazy
Benzema and Ronaldo prove that they are competing for golden boots.The goal occurred when the second half went. After Benzema scored, then not long ago Ronaldo returned to a draw. Oun's match ended that Al Ittihad was too strong so the percentage of statistics in the first half was in vain because the 90+1 minute Al Nassr lost by Bergwijn's goal.
The opportunity to return to the failure of Ronaldo while in Saudi Arabia to help Al Nassr even greater. In personalities, I admit that Ronaldo will be obtained again until the end of the season. Those who are close are goal achievements while becoming a professional footballer.

Lately I have not monitored the race in Saudi Pro League and today I was a little surprised when I saw Al Ittihad at the top of the standings somehow they replaced Al Hilal
Yeah as we see Al Ittihad is fighting against Al Nassr and so far there are no goals after the match runs 55 minutes, is this a sign that both teams will draw?
Both teams really need points to secure positions, especially Al Nassr who want to take the place in the top 3 but lately their performance is inconsistent.
Edit: LOL Both teams have just scored in the 55 and 57 minutes, that's crazy
Benzema and Ronaldo prove that they are competing for golden boots.I didnt even notice that Al Hilal lost the first place i was thinking that they are up by 3-4 points but they are in second place if the draw stays they might get a chance to tie the first place with Al Ittihad. Both benzema and ronaldo are doing good this year but i think the golden boot will go to Mitrovic for sure this season.
Of course, Ronaldo won't be a footballer forever. There should be the time that Ronaldo will decide to retire. I'm sure he already plans for the retirement. However, we don't know when he finally will announce his retirement. I guess he will keep playing in the next 2 years at least.
No, Ronaldo doesn't only move to SPL for money only. He also see the chance of playing regularly in SPL. If he stays in Europe, he may often sit on the bench. He already experienced it when he returned to Man United. Now, Ronaldo even becomes the captain in SPL, he always has the chance to play in each match.
He just has a few years to play now and it is good as he is trying to accumulate money for his future so he and his family won’t have to suffer or experience any financial difficulties in future, he doesn’t have long to play again and his retirement is not far away i just want him to try and play till he scores 1000 career goals before retirement.

He has his reasons for joining Saudi league it could be for the money or other reasons but if it’s for the money i don’t see anything wrong in it because he has achieved almost everything as a player and since they don’t play football forever and it’s only for limited years one needs to try and utilize the opportunity when a team gives you an outstanding offer.

Benzema and Ronaldo prove that they are competing for golden boots. The match between Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr is ongoing, it seems that both clubs are still looking for their best game in this match, it is a very common thing to see when the match has just started. Actually, personally I want to see Al Nassr win this match, because it will make them closer to Al Hilal and also Al Ittihad. but on the other hand when AL Ittidah loses, it will make them most likely to be shifted again by Al Hilal and it will not be easy to regain the top position from Al Hilal when they manage to get back there. So I prefer to enjoy this match.

So far both teams has shown motivation and also a strong desire to win, Al Ittihad who are playing at home are actually under pressure from Al Nassr at this time, until the 30th minute, Al Nassr is still able to dominate the match even though so far both teams still have not found dangerous opportunities, to be honest, I personally want to see Al Ittihad win today match, so that they can still continue to be at the top of the standings and maybe break Al Hillal dominance in end season, if Al Nassr wins, of course their can shorten the distance from Al Ittihad and Al Hillal, but instead we will see Al Hillal return to the top of the standings if in another match they can beat Al Raed later.

In fact, this match is not much different from the match against Al Hilal, there is prestige in this match. In the last two matches last season, Al Ittihad always lost to Al Nassr, even always involving red cards and many goals scored. Currently, Al Ittihad is handled by Laurent Blanc whose performance is much better even though this is his first season, but this French coach has been able to bring Al Ittihad to appear more competitive and become the temporary leader of the standings in the Saudi Pro League. Al Ittihad is also quite good in defense, their only major defeat was when they played against Al Hilal with a score of 3-1. The rest, they were undefeated and did not even get a draw. In the Al Nassr camp, Stefano Pioli has not been able to lift the team he coaches into a superior team that leads the standings. From 12 matches played in the Saudi League, they only got 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. In addition, their productivity in scoring goals is also below Al Ittihad. so theoretically Al Ittihad is a strong opponent for Al Nassr this season, and it is not easy to repeat the victory like last season. I think this match will be quite tough and potentially tough, I mean there might be many players who get cards from the referee. let's just wait and see which team will win this match, because both have the same chance to defeat each other.
Yeah sure, it is more than just three points, we are talking about something much bigger here, I think we could consider this to be much more important and we could see there is a bit of a confidence and future tied to this game as well.If Al Nassr could win this game, they would feel a bit more confident, boost their morale, and would give them a chance to have a better future at a higher level, but if they lose, Al Ittihad will not have many big games left, still at the top, and would have confidence that they will end up getting the title this season. Sometimes some games are more important than others and this is that type of game, we are going to see the teams play a lot differently and that's the most important part.
Al Ittihad will definitely look to win, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates have a very difficult job, I am pretty sure that Al Ittihad is the favourites here and we are going to see Ronaldo to lose, there are like just two teams which I can see beating Al Nassr and Al Ittihad is one of them, the other is Al Hilal obviously.
However, if Al Nassr could pull off a victory here, that would be great for their campaign, their season will go on great and they could close the gap to the top. If they lose, that would basically cement their third place at that point, I am sure Al Hilal will win tomorrow as well, so the fact that they will be getting away could be placed at that point, aside from that I am sure it is not going to work.
