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.

It seems that Ronaldo experienced considerable disappointment after he was unable to help Al Nassr win any trophies this season, Ronaldo and Al Nassr hopes have certainly vanished after they suffered a painful defeat in the final round of the King of Saudi Arabia, I think it is quite natural that Ronaldo cried because indeed all his struggles in the match were in vain after they had to stop in the penalty shootout,  The defeat to Al Hillal certainly made Al Nassr still unable to break Al Hillal dominance so far over them, Ronaldo this season actually expected a lot from Al Nassr but instead many of their players who performed not optimally in the match including Ospina who I thought acted stupidly until finally had to be removed from the match.

At the moment al nassr have lost all trophy opportunities this season and of course it is quite surprising for us if with the current squad they have failed to get any trophies this season, the SPL has ended and of course it is quite painful for a player who managed to reach the top scorer but instead failed to bring his team to end the season with the current championship trophy,  I think next season Al Nassr should be able to improve their squad to be able to compete for trophies, but if not, of course, most likely Ronaldo will prefer to leave for another club.

I saw Ronaldo crying after losing the trophy.A short video was shared on social media and I honestly don't think he was happy.He must be upset that he doesn't have any more trophies, even in such a simple league.Ronaldo showed that he chose money by coming here, but he might have the chance to turn it around. If Jose Mourinho calls him and he wants to come to Fenerbahce, he will have the chance to close the year with at least a trophy, maybe the last time he will have the chance to play in the Champions League, it will be a different experience for Fenerbahce and its fans.

With this Al-Hilal win yesterday In the final of the Saudi Kings Cup, you will be able to understand the difference between these two teams in performance level and understand that Al-Nassr still have a lot to do. Yes Al-Nassr were very prepared for the game but I think their performance level wasn’t top like a team that are well prepared for the game and leat they lost the trophy.

 Al-Nassr lacks serious players that are dedicated and you can see that in the team’s performance especially in the penalty shootout as they weren’t real motivated to win. Unlike Ronaldo, they are not serious and especially the defenders who missed most of the penalties yesterday and even let Al-Hilal take the lead. This is a big indication of the things that the club need to take into consideration before the new season starts.

 A total clean up needs to be done in the squad and injection of new players who are very well determined will be of great help for the club especially next season as they move to challenge for the league title. There are good players especially across Europe who are free agents and will appreciate a move to play in same team with Ronaldo. Good finance will be a great way to start up for them and I think them also getting players who are hungry for success will be efficient in their run to winning the league next season.

I agree, and I think most of the players in Al Nassr are not really trying hard like Ronaldo and it seems they don't take it seriously that's why they lose these important games. In fact, we know Al Nassr has many superstar players like Ronaldo and Mane in their team but they don't try hard and this is what made Al Nassr to lose. You saw in the game against Al Hilal that when the game had just started, Al Nassr was shocked, and they were about to lose the game with a 1-0 result against Al Hilal.
However, losing this game in the penalty kicks was mostly because of the better performance of the goalkeeper Al Hilal Yassine Bounou which made Ronaldo start crying.

It happened again and for the umpteenth time Al-Nassr failed to win against Al-Hilal. This is the final match of the Kings Cup and last season if I'm not mistaken Al-Nassr were the winners. I think this season is very unlucky for Al-Nassr because they always lose against Al-Hilal and I think things will continue even in the Saudi league if they don't immediately look for Al-Hilal's weaknesses.

This match also had to be resolved through a penalty shootout and Al-Hilal did have a better goalkeeper, namely Bounou, and everyone knows he was an extraordinary goalkeeper in the 2022 World Cup and took Morocco to the quarter-finals. It was also seen that Ronaldo immediately burst into tears on the field after losing in the penalty shootout and indeed he had to feel everything considering that this season Al-Nassr did not win anything with him.

Al Hilal has been more determined than Al Nassr this season because after going down to 9 men to Al Nassr 10 men still they were able to hold Al Nassr to a draw and took the game to extra time. This is not the first time Al Hilal has won Al Nassr or taken a trophy from them. They did it in the league and has also taken the King cup of champions trophy from them. They are a better team than Al Nassr and they deserve to win the league title and the kings of cup trophy. Al Nassr need to improve on their squad because they do not have a good squad, they only have Ronaldo that can change the direction of the game for them and he can not do that every time. They need someone to assist him so they can win trophy for the club and they also need to work on their defense because they are defending very poorly.

The King's Cup final between Al Hilal and Al Nassr went to penalties and it was not easy for Al Hilal to win the match. Mitrovic gave Al Hilal the lead in the 7th minute, but Al Nassr struggled to win the match despite being down to 10 men.David Ospina received a red card in the 56th minute, leaving his team down to 10 men.Despite this, Al Nassr managed to hold on to the match and managed to take the match to extra time with a goal in the last minutes.Despite playing with one man less in extra time, Al Nassr failed to make the most of their chances, taking the match to penalties.

Al Nassr are weaker than Al Hilal and this season, through many matches directly between two clubs and with other clubs, show this fact. Sometimes difference is slim but most of times, differences between them are big.

Cristiano Ronaldo actually is ambitious and never want to lose a match or a title so this result is hardly accepted by him. He takes big risk by playing this match because Euro 2024 is around the air and any injury will put him at risk of missing the tournament.

Improving defense system will be biggest task for Al Nassr in the summer because in attacking, they are not bad but in defense, they got too many conceded goals even when playing with weak teams in Saudi Professional League. They lost many points to weak or average clubs in Saudi Professional League and when Al Hilal dominate the league, these conceded goals and lost points make big difference in the title competition.

Once again Al Hilal won against Al Nassr on King's Cup final match, Al Nassr disadvantage last night after their goals keeper David Ospine received direct red card on 56th. Ayman Yahha helped Al Nassr by scoring goal before few minutes match ended but got loss from penalty kick. I watched highlight and looking how emotional with Cristiano Ronaldo after another failure for winning King's Cup.

Season 2023/24 have been over with Al Nassr not winning any tittle yet, difference with the rival teams Al Hilal success get treble winner in this season after winning domestic league, Saudi Super Cup until King's Cup trophies and make them dominance for this season all competition.
Al Nassr must improving their performance for next season get opportunity for winning domestic league tittle by signing some top player, its not difficult with financial support for signing top European players.

Yes, they had to accept defeat again from Al Hilal in the final match which was actually the last chance for them to win at least one title, but they failed to do so. They lost on penalties and that must have hurt a lot. We can see how Al Hilal's toughness has not been able to be resisted by Al Nassr this season and Al Hilal has become champion again and at the same time ensures that Al Nassr ends the season without a title this season.

Al Nassr must be able to improve next season, Al Hilal is still too tough for them. They must evaluate their failures this season and prepare their strength to navigate the next season. I think they will be able to do it, especially as they have the potential to be able to do all of that. What is clear is that now they have to take a break and forget about what happened to them this season. They must focus on preparing the team for the next season.

Al Nassr players are unserious players, they don’t know what is called winning, I know that Al Hilal is better than them but Al Nassr players don’t know how to play football, imagine common a penalty shootout Al Nassr players don’t know how to play, Al Nassr have many opportunities to win in the match when playing the penalty and they miss it, I have already said it from the beginning that Al Nassr doesn’t have a good players that will help Ronaldo, Al Nassr players don’t know how to play football, most especially the defensive players, they don’t know how to defend to stop their opponents to score a goal and that is why they always struggle to win a match, I don’t even know if Ronaldo is not in the team the position they are going to be this season.

The only thing that will make Al Nassr win a trophy next season is for the team to go and sign new players, sell out some of the players in the team and go to the premier league, Laliga league and other leagues to get good players that will help them, many players are going to be out of contract in many leagues, Al Nassr should go and buy those players because those their Saudi players don’t know how to play football, Al Hilal have many players that come from outside Saudi that is why they are performing very good.

Congratulations to Al Hilal for winning crowned champions, indeed, Al Hilal are not done with Al Nasr now it amount to five meetings and Al Hilal haven't lost any, the last time  Al Nasr won Al Hilal was in final which i was expecting it to happened again because Ronaldo don't joke when it comes to playing final, but now that he knows the weakness of the player when it come to taking penalty i think it high time they address the issue because of next time, build them more confidence because penalty is all about confidence sometimes and also know how to play it, some players look so scared when it comes to penalty kick and even some of the goalkeeper noticed that fears in them.

How do you mean by the process of Al Nassr  loss to Al Hilal was very easy? A game that both team fought to the end despite the reds cards that were issued for the foul action of the respective players with dozens of yellow cards that followed through.

Ronaldo before now has always been known for shedding tears in any finals his team loses to lift the trophy no matter how many times he might have won it or how small the trophy may be compared to his major achievements of his career in Europe. He is a player with a  vigorous passion for football and to him every football trophy means so much to him not minding the category it falls. I bet it that some world best wouldn't care much for losing  the kings cup finals how more crying for any obvious reasons.

Metrovic score early goal in this one of the most fierce game of the season which played between two arch rivals and things were really entertaining with we have 24 shots on goal from the Al Nassr but still this was not enough to win the game as hardly they were able to bring themselves to the level in 88th minute of the game and then lost this another final and last game of the season which is terrible end of the season for inform Cristiano Ronaldo who was at the top of the form but still end without any trophy in this season.

We have 15 cards in this game which is maybe record in this Saudi League Al Hilal concede two red cards and Ospina having red card for Al Nassr which is surely problematic for them in this final both teams were at the level, but Al Nassr was having aggressive approach as they were desperate for the win and having cup but its end bad for them.

Al Hilal won and were crowned champions. Al Hilal defeated their rival team Al Nasr, which is very sad for Al Nasr. Because the process of Al Nasr losing to Al Hilal was very easy. They defeated Al Hilal very easily. Ronaldo broke down in tears after the penalty shootout. Because Ronaldo knew that his teammates would disappoint him.

The most difficult match of the Saudi Deluge League was held, in this match both teams tried hard and the main game was a 1-1 goal draw. But later on penalty, Al Nasr team was behind by one goal, but Alhamdulillah every player started to score, but I was very happy to see the game because I have rarely seen such a tough competition game in the past. Cristiano Ronaldo tried hard but couldn't score in this match as both teams were strong so every attack was countered.

32 years old Brazilian star who is in contract with Al Hilal and due to knee injury is out of the action for the last 8 months is set for return in July just before start of next season with how things will be work it's not clear because now we will have Al Hilal current squad is competitive and can do much better without him.

Neymar Jr who is famous for his long term injuries and off the field issues is having not good time even in future because as he is doing mostly likely Al Hilal will be not considered him for the next season as now they are in talk with few other stars those are ready for playing in Saudi Pro League but still know we have waited for the two more months than all will be clear about him and his future at the Saudi League where he is taking $100 Million annual salary which is third most for a soccer player.

right from the onset I knew that Al hilal were certainly winning this kings cup cause they were the better side in all ramification. In terms of pace they were better, they were more clinical and had better attacking mindset compared to Al Nasir.

If we remove past glory and sentiment out of our analysis then it's easy to point out that Ronaldo isn't helping the Al Nasir team that much. Dude is always in an offside position and isn't helping in hunting for the ball in most occasion. Most times it's almost like he is minus one on the pitch who is just waiting to tap the ball into the goal post without putting serious effort and threat to his opponent. He's a big name that has great record in the past but from his current performance, it's not what the Al Nasir needs if they have any plans of winning a trophy. I knew he felt bad when is teammate misses out in the penalty that would have granted them an easy win but that's just football, if you can't get get the win during tge 90 minutes of play, you have to accept the fact that you're in for a 50/50 situation and that anything can happen at that instance.

Last month being sport has published ETA about the comeback of neymar.

https://www.beinsports.com/en-us/soccer/articles-video/neymar-would-be-very-close-to-returning-to-play-for-al-hilal-2024-04-23

It's clear we can expect him to join in the al hilal again next months. Neymar got serious injury, and he needs to spend more than a season t recover from his injury. I hope he will recover even faster than what i was expecting. Neymar appeared celebrate al hilal's SPL win too.

Neymar has made a reconciliation for his relationship with al hilal's management.
