This whole "Al Nassr lost easily" narrative is fake news! The game went to penalties, for crying out loud! Thats as close as it gets. Sure, Al Nassr missed their chances, but who doesnt in a risky shootout? These guys are professionals, some of the best in the world. They know how to play the game. Blaming them for the loss is just plain wrong.
Look at Ronaldo. The guy's a winner. He hates losing more than anyone. Those tears? Thats passion. Thats heart. Thats what makes him a champion. Maybe Al Nassr needs to make some changes, but dont count them out. They've got talent, they've got grit, and they'll be back. Believe me.
I agree with you, that Al Nassr's defeat in this match did not happen easily, because they had to lose through the penalty shootout round, which is actually a round of luck in my opinion. If they fail to win any title this season, they have to admit that Al Hilal is indeed better than them this season.
A disappointing season for Ronaldo, because no matter how hard he tries, he can't get what he wants this season. His ambition to win a title is very high, so it's natural for him to cry because he has to accept the fact that he really failed this season.
Indeed, even before the match started, Al Hilal believed they would be able to win, because in the last few meetings this season, they were almost always ahead of Al Nassr. And they proved it again in this match where they beat AL Nassr again. Even though they struggled a lot, they managed to become champions again.
Al Hilal was too tough for all its competitors at domestic level, they managed to sweep all the matches and bring home all the trophies, this was a very extraordinary season for Al Hilal. The match ended as predicted, where Al Hilal was very lucky to beat Al Nassr in the penalty shootout round, Al Hilal really refused to accept defeat at domestic level.
For Al Nassr, this defeat should be a valuable experience, that they must build a better squad next season around Ronaldo. It was very disappointing when you lost in the final, your only hope of winning a trophy failed to come true. Ronaldo will reportedly stay next season, this is the best opportunity for Al Nassr before the superstar retires.
I think not only Ronaldo, everyone at the Al Nassr club feels sadness due to their failure, but they have to forget it and look at next season with optimism. Ronaldo's influence is an opportunity for Al Nassr to recruit former top European players, and I think Al Nassr defense is the main thing that must be improved next season.
