Aleksander Mitrovic prolific performance this season in the Saudi Pro League have been a surprise to me if I must be honest because I never expected him to be scoring as many goals as he's been scoring since the start of the season. He's the only player in the Saudi league that's seriously challenging Christian Ronaldo for the golden boot award despite the fact that the Portuguese superstar have been scoring goals for fun. Over the weekend, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick which was his 34th since he turned 30 years of age which goes a long way to tell how great of a player he is.
Currently, Cristiano Ronaldo is four goals ahead of Aleksander Mitrovic which means that Mitrovic can still catch up with him if him if he can more a little more prolific than he's been. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's number of goals, his team is very unlikely to end the season with the league title because they have more impressive and consistent team like Al Hilal ahead of them in the league table

Al-Hilal had to pay a heavy price for the victory because they had to lose their flagship striker due to injury. I think even if they win, on the other hand, they are quite disadvantaged and Mitrovic will definitely be absent from several matches. But at least that won't interfere with Al-Hilal winning the title this season considering they are already ahead by so many points.

Al-Shabab is quite tough because they can match Al-Hilal's game and they can almost force Al-Hilal to draw this match. But Al-Hilal's winning mentality deserves to be appreciated and they don't want to lose full points in this very dramatic match. Maybe we can consider Al-Hilal as champions of the Saudi league this season and their next focus is to win the Asian Champions League title.

Yeah, the only player who can compete with Ronaldo is Aleksandar Mitrovic, this player has scored 22 goals in his first season or 4 goals behind Ronaldo who have scored 26 goals but unfortunately Ronaldo failed to give a trophy to al-Nassr. Ronaldo and Aleksandar Mitrovic will continue to compete for the top score trophy that's why we see Ronaldo always aggressive in several matches including in the last match he scored 3 goals. I can't imagine if Ronaldo fails to fight over the top score of course he will feel disappointed after his efforts in every game. Regarding Ronaldo's career I thought he would be comfortable in this league he has and gets whatever he wants except the Saudi Pro League title  well, this will be the main target.

Al Hilal won the game as I was expecting to see and they had a good performance in this match which is not something I wanted to see from Al Hilal but to be honest Al Shabab also had a good chance and they could also made Al Hilal stop in this match.
The sad and shocking thing that happened to Al Hilal was about their superstar player, Aleksandar Mitrović. We know Aleksandar Mitrović is a key player for his team but in the game against Al Shabab, Aleksandar Mitrović got injured and he could continue the game 34 minutes after the start of this match.
We still don't know how hard is he injured but the absence of Aleksandar Mitrović can damage the team.

Al Hilal currently has an advantage of 12 points over Al Nassr. And I believe this is not going to be possible for anyone to actually give them any competition. And I think sometimes people forget that Al Nassr is literally depending on a 39-year-old player. I don't know how many 39-year-old players are there who can actually carry a team like this.

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Cristiano Ronaldo actually joined Manchester City instead of Manchester United. Maybe he would still be playing for Manchester City and still have a really good performance.

Anyway, let's talk about the Saudi league. I really want to see the teams from the Saudi League actually take part in the Champions League competition. That would definitely skyrocket the popularity of the Saudi League more. Probably even more than it did when Ronaldo joined the Saudi league.

Ronaldo definitely doing great, had a few bad games and that was sad for him, but he made a good comeback, a hattrick is not that bad. I am not saying that his job is easy, but also it is not "really" as hard as people make it to be. We should not be considering the situation to be superbly amazing, yeah he had a hattrick that's great but it was against a weak Saudi Arabian team.

If you put the team he scored it against as a ranking in all of the world, you will realize why it is not a such big deal. Don't get me wrong, there are so many players from Europe that went to Saudi league and none of them managed to do this, which means that while it may not be that difficult, it is also not that easy neither, it is still an achievement nonetheless.

Al-Hilal's dominance is too strong. They extended their winning streak to 30 games (including all tournaments), which if I'm not mistaken is currently a world record. An incredible achievement (by the way, additional PR for the Saudi League), but it also has disadvantages - everyone loves competitive championships, and when one team dominates so tightly, the interest is not so great.
It's funny that even with such dominance, Al-Hilal players cannot surpass Ronaldo, although it would seem that this should be easy and logical.

It was very unfortunate Benzema failed to score through penalty kick. On the other hand, Al Feiha striker succeeded scoring a goal from penalty kick. People must try to compare the ability between these players. They must criticize Benzema due to the failure of scoring goal from penalty kick. Well, not sure why Benzema failed, but it should be an easy thing for him. I'm sure Benzema has a problem in his confidence.

That's true Ronaldo is well trusted and he is a famous player in Al Nassr. The thing about Ronaldo is about his age, he is getting old, and usually player can't have a good performance at this age but Ronaldo is performing much better than other players. So far during this one-and-a-half season, he scored 50 goals and there is no other player who can do that even at a young age.
Even the expensive superstars in Al Nassr like Talisca and Sadio Mane do not have this good performance.
That's why there is a high chance for Al Nassr to extend his contract for a longer time which means Ronaldo can even stay playing for Al Nassr until 40 years old or even for a longer time.

For a man of his age, it's ridiculous to scoring as many goals as Cristiano Ronaldo is scoring at the moment.

Al Shabab vs Al Hilal.

Well, this match initially seemed like it would be difficult for Al Shabab to equalize, which in fact Al Hilal was leading 1-4. In this match, the home team put up quite a fight towards Al Hilal in the second half, before Al Shabab took the lead in the 3rd minute with a quick goal from Musab Fabd Aljuwary. However, the squad coached by Jorge Jesus was able to turn the situation around to their advantage, Al Hilal opened the opportunity in the 20th minute through the penalty spot. Then, Mitrovic scored his second goal again in the 27th minute. Unfortunately, he had to be pulled out and replaced by Al-Shehri because he allegedly had a problem that led to injury. However, Al Hilal still did not relax their game. Before the end of the first half, Segej Savic added to his team's lead. Not wanting to lose, Al Dawsari also contributed one goal in this match. now the temporary position is with a score of 3-4, a victory for Al Hilal. The match still left enough time for both teams to score goals for their teams. However, it seems that it will be very difficult to overthrow Al Hilal which is currently in a positive trend. well, let's just wait for this match to end.

At the same time, Al Nassr defeated Al Tae with a score of 4-1. The match is not over yet, and Ronaldo contributed two goals in this match, it does not rule out the possibility that Ronaldo will be able to add to his tally of goals. Thus, Ronaldo can keep his distance from Mitrovic in terms of scoring goals. but at least for this match, both Mitrovic and Ronaldo scored two goals. the difference is, Mitrovic was pulled out and replaced by another player. Al Hilal's standings remain safe, especially if they are able to finish this match with a win. well, it seems Al Hilal is getting closer to the Saudi Pro League trophy.

As long as Ronaldo is still trusted by his teammates, there is no doubt that Ronaldo will add goals and after your post, Cristiano Ronaldo closed the match with a hat trick for Al Nassr's 5-1 victory over Al Tae.
Ronaldo's additional three goals in this match further cemented him as the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League.

That is an individual achievement, but he has not been able to achieve club achievements since joining because Al Nassr's rivals, Al Hilal, are still very difficult to catch in terms of points because they also managed to win against Al Shabab with a score of 3-4.

So overall Cristiano is making again history for himself in Al Nassr team while he is not being able to win the title again during this season against Al Hilal while I think this season is his last in the Saudi Premier League as he had a 2 year contract with the team.He sure looks very much fit to continue playing again at this age and he should probably try to go back and play another season in one of such leagues where he can make a difference,I think there are quite some rich teams in these leagues where they would be happy to have him for another season.

What a guy is this Cristiano Ronaldo man, always with his hattrick for late goals when the game is already finished he is a beast he only cares about numbers, and he wants more and more goals no matter what goals or if they are important or not.

Anyways i can feel inside him he is crying because he cant win anything this year.
