Closed in my opinion is not completely closed, but it will be something that will be very difficult for them to get considering the team above them now is also playing well. Apart from that, Al Nassr is also still having difficulty in maintaining their consistency in the game which ultimately made them have to fall behind even further several times. For example, when they had to experience defeat from Al Ittihad, it made them have to be even further apart in terms of points. Indeed, there are still many matches and the competition is still very long, but in my opinion they also have to have a little magic to be able to catch up with the team above them now.

With a large points difference between Al Nassr with Al Hilal and Ittihad, it does seem that at this time the opportunity for al nassr to win the championship has been closed, although the league journey is still long but as you said of course it is impossible to expect al hillal and al ittihad to experience successive defeats with their current best performance, the deepest disappointment of course we will see in Ronaldo later, because as a player who has a winning mentality so far, of course his failure to win the SPL championship trophy in streak will be very painful for him, currently with a contract situation that may end soon, of course it is likely that Ronaldo will reconsider his future at al nassr at this time.

Al Nassr is a team that has become famous only with Cristiano Ronaldo. Look at their other players, there are better teams in the Saudi Arabian league. They only transferred Cristiano Ronaldo and seem to care about other players. However, Cristiano Ronaldo still shows himself. Al Nassr is perhaps the most well-known team in Saudi Arabia right now. Although their chances of finishing the league as champions are very low, they have reached much higher levels of reputation thanks to Ronaldo.

their rivalry will always be there, Ronaldo can catch up and dominate the top scorer only if Al Nassr's performance improves. if it's the same as this, Ronaldo will have a hard time getting it.
last season was a pretty crazy season, where Al Hilal and Al Nassr both scored 100 goals in one season. this season doesn't seem like it will reach that number of goals.
hopefully, the rivalry will be more interesting, Ronaldo should be able to make his team's spirit burn again. he's a player who can give spirit to the team. sometimes things like that can affect the player's performance to be better.

Yes I think that's all Ronaldo can achieve this season just like last season Ronaldo became the top scorer in the SPL, but the competition for top scorers is also quite fierce this season because Aleksandar Mitrovic and Karim Benzema will also be challengers so Ronaldo must be able to beat them all at this time the goal difference with Mitrovic is only 2 goals it is not difficult for Ronaldo to catch up with the 2 goals because Ronaldo can always score goals on every debut.
Last season Al Nassr was ranked 2nd right below Al Hilal, there is a possibility that this season will finish worse because Al Qadsyah and Al Ittihad might take Al Nassr's previous position.

That would be way too bad though, I mean I get that they can fail to win this season that makes sense and that's understandable but not being even third is too much. Second place was something they fought for last season, and this season the worst that could be accepted is third place because Al Ittihad is having a great season compared to last season but that's about it. If they finish anything worse than third place, that is a terrible season and shouldn't really be considered ok at all, something has to change.

I also believe that Ronaldo still didn't sign a contract extension so far, I do not have a clue if that's because the team hasn't offered anything yet, or if Ronaldo hasn't accepted yet or whatever is going on, but it's clear that we are seeing no extension yet. I doubt that he will get another 2 years 200+ million type of offer, that was good when he got here first, but now after this many years and no success, I do not think they will offer him that much money. If the season ends, and the offer isn't good and the team isn't even in the top three, I am pretty sure that Ronaldo will look for something else, that feels like the most important figure right now and could happen.

The conclusion is that whatever Al Hilal experiences even if they lose again, Al Nassr will still not be able to win the SPL title this season. The reason is quite simple and we just have to look at the points difference between Al Nassr, Al Hilal and Ittihad. Al Nassr is 11 points behind Ittihad and also 9 points behind Al Hilal. Are you sure that the points difference can be caught up by Al Nassr? Expecting consecutive defeats to be experienced by Al Hilal and Ittihad, that is something impossible.

Even though it has only been 13 games, I think Al Nassr now has no chance for the Saudi Pro League trophy this season. This season will be a battle between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal, and hopefully, it will last until the end of the season. Usually, there will be a team that dominates, making the League no longer interesting when the League champion can be known by the dominance of one team.
With only 2 points difference, hopefully, Al Hilal will not lose focus and can continue to be Al Ittihad's competitor in the fight for the Saudi Pro League trophy.

It looks like Ronaldo will repeat the story that happened last season, when he ended the season with an individual trophy and zero titles with al nassr, this season the same thing is likely to happen because so far his chances of becoming a top score are very open if remember his ability and also his goal productivity so far, while Al nassr, They are so far still very inconsistent in their play and performance in the league, making it difficult to catch up with points from al hillal and also al ittihad this season, Ronaldo has always won the championship leagues trophy with his team team but it seems that it will not happen if he continues to be in Al nassr in my opinion.

Al-Nassr football team is not the best team to win the tournament because their performance is not extraordinary and players are not giving best effort to win the match. Al-Ittihad football team is top most favorite team to win this title because players of that team are in good form and they will give hundred percent to win next matches.  Al Hilal football team performance is also incredible and that team can win the title because that team played 13 matches and they faced only 1 lose and 1 match draw and that team won 11 matches of this tournament. Al Qadsiah FC is also doing well but that team is not favorite team of this tournament.But still Al-Nassr football team should not not heard and should try to win this title.

It seems that Al Nassr will find it difficult to overtake the two teams above them, especially since the points difference is quite large with Al Ittihad who are at the top of the standings. Al Nassr's performance is not so convincing, they have drawn 4 times and lost 2 times. While Al Ittihad only experienced 1 defeat, but they did not immediately slump and even appeared with an impressive performance, sweeping all matches with a win after falling against Al Hilal in the 4th week. Anyway, it seems difficult for Ronaldo to win the Saudi Pro League trophy this season.
In fact, Ronaldo is still 2 points behind Mitrovic's goal. Uniquely, Benzema has also scored 10 goals, the same as Ronaldo. A difficult season for Al Nassr, they have to fight hard to stay competitive in the fight for the Saudi Pro League trophy.

I have never seen something like that happen in football even though the team has many world stars. No player is willing to give the trophy he deserves to someone else, of course a league that brings in world football stars will be more advanced than other leagues.
The Arab League seems like a suitable place for a famous star to retire and the match after the break will be more interesting, of course Al Nasr is the favorite in that match.

Does it even happen in football that a government of a country will just come to the agreement and decide to give a player a whole trophy?, the Saudi Arabia government will never do that because they would be passing a wrong message to the world and those clubs on the league will not even be happy because you can imagine how sad it will look when the trophy you were about to win for the first time is being giving to another team when they did not win, meanwhile there wouldn't be need for any club to hire him because he will not leave the Saudi Arabia league and as for this league they cannot even qualify for the AFC champions League talk more of this trophy, however when they resume after this December break there first match will be against AI Akhdoud.

Even if you look at Al Nasr's current performance, I personally feel a little doubtful that Al Nasr can finish in 3rd place in the Saudi Arabian League. Because we can see for ourselves that this season there is Al Qadisiyah which will be the biggest obstacle for Al Nasr to finish in 3rd place in the Saudi Arabian League. Because currently Al Nasr is in 4th position in the Saudi Arabian league and has a difference of 3 points with Al Qadisiyah which is in 3rd place. With this, I personally can conclude that currently Al Nasr is unable to compete with Al Qadisiyah. So if Al Nasr cannot recover from its downturn, I think Al Nasr will most likely not be able to finish in 3rd place in the Saudi Arabian league. Maybe realistically Al Nasr can only finish in 4th position (if you look at its current performance).

Then talking about other competitions, this season Al Nasr is taking part in two competitions (apart from the SPL). Namely in the Saudi Arabian King's Cup and also in the Asian Champions League. In the Saudi Arabian King's Cup, Al Nasr lost in the round of 16 to Al Taawon. Therefore, currently Al Nasr only participates in the Champions League (apart from the SPL). I personally can't conclude whether Al Nasr will be like in the Champions League, but for now Al Nasr is in group B and is in 3rd place. Maybe with this, Al Nasr has a very big chance of qualifying for the next round.

Now we have end of 13 rounds with Saudi League on one month vacations which mean Stefano Pioli had enough time for checking all things and go for the better strategy after this break we have 21 rounds left which can many things on positive even their chances are not high for having any chance of title race but still they can change their way of play which will bring positive results for them in coming rounds, and they will be able to have better season.

We will have Al Ittihad and Al Hilal for the title race and Al Qadisiya and Al Nassr for the third spot while Al Ahili is also facing troubling time which is not allowing them to have any chance of better end of this season, but soccer is funny game and changes can happen smartly any time.

Unless it's the plan of the government in Saudi Arabia to give Cristiano Ronaldo a trophy before he retires, I don't think other clubs will want to sign him from Al Nassr, there are other talented players that have media influence too that the government will want to bring to the league to help boost the league more. Saudi Arabia has already achieved their number one intentions which was to be the host of the 2034 world club. What they have to do next is to make the country welcomed to foreigners and by having a good league that has lots of viewers is a good way to start. Al nassr needs more players and not letting go of Ronaldo to go to their rivals.

Scoring goals is big target of Cristiano Ronaldo but he is very ambitious player and he want both, goals, titles with his club, and personal awards. He certainly feels happy when he scores goals but it's disappointed if his team fails in a match or fails to win titles when season ends.

Al-Nassr needs more than Cristiano Ronaldo to win Saudi Professional Leaguet title, and need more than good attacking players to win titles. They already have enough star attacking players, and even good midfielders too. Their weakness is in defense system that must be improved if they want to compete and win against two other strong clubs in Saudi Arabia, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad. If they continue like this, and if Cristiano Ronaldo receives good offers for Al-Hilal or Al-Ittihad, he will leave Al-Nassr for another challenge with better chance of winning titles.

Ronaldo's chance might be able to catch up with the SPL top scorer, but not with the SPL trophy. that's because the points difference to catch up with other teams will be quite difficult with Al Nassr's performance.
from the goal productivity Al Nassr is still behind Ittihad and Al Hilal. there is still time to catch up by improving the team's performance. but it seems like they won't compete either. fans might have to be satisfied with the same results as last season. hopefully, they won't be worse.

I also think Al Nassr will fail to win the SPL title this season because Al Nassr has not shown any signs of good improvement and even looks inconsistent, when compared to Al Ittihad and Al Hilal at this time Al Nassr is not superior to them so once again Ronaldo must give up the SPL title this season, even though I myself really want to see Ronaldo win the SPL title to complete his trophy as the best football player in history.

It seems Al Nassr’s performance is even worse than last season because last season they were able to maintain second place and we all knew that Al Hilal’s performance last season was very good that was why Al Nassr were not champions. I expect them to perform better than last season but they seem a little inconsistent this season than last season and this is the perfect time for them to try and win the league since Al Hilal have dropped a few points recently but then they are also not doing well and Al Ittihad seem to have occupied the first place with 2 points ahead of Al Hilal.

Since Al Nassr change their coach their performance seem to have depreciated and seeing them at 4th place with 3 points behind 3rd place Al Qadisiya is very disappointing i expected more from the new coach. The management might probably be regretting their decision to sack the former coach Luis Castro because he did well for them last season.
