Sometimes holding the role of defending champion is not easy and there will be times when the team experiences a short dry spell. But here Al-Ittihad is actually still not categorized as successful in maintaining its performance and they still have to fight to improve their position if they want to be in the spotlight again. Maybe the presence of several stars is starting to be doubted, from Benzema to Kante because they still haven't proven that the results are commensurate with the costs that have been spent.

Regarding Al-Ittihad's performance against Auckland in the CWC competition, I really appreciate their performance and finally being able to see Karim Benzema score another goal and with his goal put his name as a goalscorer in 4 editions of the CWC. For the next match, Al-Ittihad will face a fairly strong team and I think it is still difficult to determine the result and I would rather see Al-Ittihad's further developments first.

Cristiano Ronaldo has always been a hot topic of conversation in the Saudi league. Apart from that, Cristiano Ronaldo still has a performance that is no less good than other young players. I really wonder why Cristiano Ronaldo is still performing well like this even though he is 38 years old, he is very different from players his age and it seems that at that age, many have retired because his performance is not as sharp as when he was young, but Ronaldo is able to make a difference and this is history world football and surely Ronaldo will break the record of 1000 goals before he retires.

Many hope that Cristiano Ronaldo can win the golden boot. I think Ronaldo can definitely still get it this season because Ronaldo is still scoring a lot of goals and the match is still long. I think Ronaldo will score goals in all the remaining matches because so far Ronaldo has scored 50 goals.

The meeting between Messi and Ronaldo will definitely be eagerly awaited by football fans, because the legends met on the field and are no longer competing in European league competitions, but now they are in a different league. I also can't wait for this meeting.

All Cristiano Ronaldo fans definitely want the same thing as you. Namely, we want to see Cristiano Ronaldo win many awards at the end of his career in the world of football as a professional player and as a legendary icon from the world of football. And I am quite sure that those of us who are currently loyal SPL viewers will also become interested in watching SPL matches after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to this league. And at first I didn't even suspect that in the SPL the matches could be quite as fierce and extraordinary as this season. Last season, if you look at it, the competition was a little less exciting. But this season everything is full of drama.

Well, even teams that are not favored can also make strong teams that have lots of European players still overwhelmed when facing ordinary teams that don't have many top European players. This happens because all the clubs in the SPL seem to be encouraged to work harder to improve their team's performance. At first I was only happy when I saw Al-Nassr. But now I often watch other matches too. Especially after all the clubs under PIF ownership have brought in many European players in the transfer market last summer.

Everyone will be looking forward to the Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami meeting next year. And I am also one of those looking forward to the match. Messi and CR7 will definitely present a good game in this match.

Even though he is no longer young, his performance is still good and he looks more mature when on the field and I also see that he looks youthful, and his charming appearance makes Cristiano Ronaldo fans like him even more and indeed Al Nassr is now very lucky because he has Cristiano Ronaldo is there, and now he has scored 16 goals and his biggest rival at the moment Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored 14 goals and honestly I hope this season he wins the golden boot, and I also want to see al nassr become the first champion this season anyway I want to see Cristiano Ronaldo before he retires he receives many awards.

I also can't wait to see Cristiano Ronaldo playing with Messi in 2024 in the Al Nassr match against Inter Miami at the Kingdom Arena stadium on February 1. I want to see Cristiano Ronaldo play well and I also want to see Messi's cool appearance. Surely many people have been waiting for that moment.

In last few years, we have good development in Saudi Arab with new generation leaders are opening their economy and other things to the world which is brought many opportunities for the big names around the world to take their share and same happen in this case they invested on Cristiano Ronaldo for the better attraction of soccer fans around the world and this gamble give them good benefit now they are having huge fan base and good attraction for the fans on many different channels and other social media sites.

In the future, they are working on more improvement which will bring better results and increased quality as well which is also important for the all stakeholders for more exposure in the soccer world even we have few failures as well, but this is not ended for any party they need to look in future as well for the better results.

Many football fans, especially fans of the two star players, could become rivals again in the same competition, namely the SPL, but if that could happen it would have been long time ago before Messi decided to go to MLS with Miami.
Yes, one of the reasons is that his wife doesn't want Messi to play in the SPL and of course there are deep reasons for this refusal but no one knows what the real reason is.
Maybe if Messi can play with an SPL team then we will see the debut of the same competition as in La Liga, and this will truly be an eternal rivalry for both players.
It just that there won't be time or opportunity for Messi to play with an SPL team because apart from being hindered by his wife, Messi is also of an age that will no longer be productive when his contract with Miami expires, and besides, Miami won't sell him either.

Playing in MLS with Miami he can earn large amounts of money and he even has an agreement on Adidas and Apple shares, this is big deal and Messi doesn't get it when playing with an SPL team.
After all, he would choose to make as much money as possible in his retirement.
I not really sure that Messi will go to play in the SPL in the future.

Ittihad FC's first meeting with Al Ahly took place more than a decade ago for Ittihad FC won with a narrow score, and check the betting market Ittihad FC is the favorite team in the match later and with odds that are quite convincing so that Ittihad FC has a chance to advance to the semifinals but the opportunity for their opponents is still there, and because the two teams are from different leagues it is quite difficult to predict because the odds available on the betting market could be wrong, but if Ittihad manages to win and goes to the semifinals they will face a tougher opponent, namely Fluminese and I predict their move will be stalled in the semifinals.

Al Ittihad which is currently defending champions and their start was also very good, but suddenly they have few poor weeks which bring them down in league table with things are already gone into wrong way for them, but they are doing good comeback which will helps them for having better ending of this season currently they are at 5th spot with their difference from the second spotted Al Nassr is 9 points, but things are not easy for them because we are having few tough teams to compete for them if they want to jump at better spot.

In last game against Auckland they have done good performance and not allowed their opponents for having anything good now in next game they are going to face Al Ahly from African continent which is also good competition even they are favourite for win and going into last four against Fluminense which is South American champions and surely team to watch in this event.

Cristiano Ronaldo have been 38 years old and seems he has chance for playing with Al-Nassr about two until three years later, still have chance waiting for Lionel Messi will play for Saudi Arabia club and excited to see both top players in the world in the same competition Saudi Pro League. Seems difficult with Lionel Messi have contract left with Inter Miami and excited offering there to see he will play in Saudi Pro League, but not easy for signing Cristiano Ronaldo by MLS League because high offer payment salary from Al Nassr.

Saudi Pro League will get more traffic or fans in the future if can bring Lionel Messi there, actually they have much money and promoting way to be host of World Cup 2034 and completed achievement if can sign Lionel Messi for playing with Saudi Pro League team.

Ronaldo is one of those players who started breaking records at the age of 38. The 38-year-old's performance caught everyone's attention. By 2023 Ronaldo has already scored 50 goals. Ronaldo will soon break the record of 1000 goals if he continues to score like this. He may have joined Al Nasser to fulfill Ronaldo's dream of 1000 goals. Moreover, Al Nasser must always be remembered because of Ronaldo, Saudi clubs including their club are becoming popular with so many people today. I will always love Ronaldo in my heart and soul and will love him for the rest of my life. A player like Ronaldo might find it difficult to get a second

It will be even great if messi will able to go to the saudi pro league. I have seen that many people are willing to see messi to compete with ronaldo again. It is saddened me that messi was avoiding to go to the saudi pro league due to the his wife.
What i can take from messi's interview if he was willing to join in saudi pro league but his wife has been preventing. I hope i can see messi play in saudi pro league someday.

Having messi and ronaldo in the same league will being back the old memories owned by la liga. We have seen that how big the hype owned by la liga.
Saudi pro league needs to approach him once again. Messi is good but not for his choice to join in MLS

Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi are great players and their era is coming to an end gradually this season with both players out of the European football world. These two GOAT have dominated football over the years and they won't stop in their last aged ranges, instead they will keep pushing in for better results in matches, still a hugh surprise to watch these players surpassed the limelight of the current generation of talented kids, they don't even play up to the require standards of Ronaldo and Messi and that's exceptionally the stats of great GOATs.

Well.. that is my point. Lionel Messi may be a legend, but it is Cristiano Ronaldo who attracts the global fans. Personally I have never followed any of the matches in MLS and I haven't even visited the MLS thread here in Gambling sub-forum. However, I am a regular visitor to this thread ever since CR7 joined the Saudi Professional League (back in January 2023). And it's not just me. SPL became one of the top football leagues in the world (in terms of popularity) immediately after CR7 joined. But Messi was unable to do anything like that with the Major League Soccer (MLS). 

Although currently many talented young players are emerging. But somehow no one has been able to replace the popularity of Cristiano Ronaldo. And actually there is a reason for all of this. Because now we can see how he is 38 to 39 years old but can still be a more effective spearhead at Al-Nassr and also in the Portuguese national team. Even though in the Portuguese national team there are Felix and Bruno Fernandes. But still the two of them have not been able to surpass the old player who is already 38 years old. Therefore, we really have to respect Cristiano Ronaldo because after all he taught us many things in the world of football. The optimism that he always displays and the ambition that is also in his nature must be used as a lesson by other players if they want to develop like Cristiano Ronaldo. And currently, even though Al-Nassr pays Cristiano Ronaldo very expensively, in fact the club gets more profits after bringing in this mega star player.

Nothing is over for Al Ittihad yet and they can still have a good performance with their new coach and the chance Al Ittihad's coach to try to prove himself in the next games is very much, especially when we know Al Ittihad is also playing in the AFC Chmpaniuos league however I think Al Ittihad was lucky to stay in this tournament but still Al Ittihad is far from top teams in the Saudi League like Al Nassr and Al Hial which means they should wait to see if these two teams will lose points in the next games or not.

Often Ronaldo and Messi used to receive criticism, these people needs to give opportunity for the younger generation. If these two gets retired, football fans will miss them a lot and some even lose interest watching football. Amidst their age the performance hadn't got affected in any way. 50 goals is not a simple thing, and the expectation upon him on the Saudi Arabia Pro League hadn't got fulfilled. He is believed to make Al-Nassr on the top position, but things weren't going good as expected by the fans.

Mitrovic was not that familiar even for EPL fans too. i see no hype around him when he was announcing himself to join in the al nassr. Ronaldo was just helping to attract lots of old talents to the saudi pro league.

Mahrez, mane, maximin and many more. Even gerrard has joined in the al ettifaq but he was a flop. It proves that if more people are not adding SPL as one of their favorite clubs.

I rarely seen people talked about MLS in other thread. I saw its thread but people are not so active like this.

The match has ended. Al Shabab 2 - 5 Al Nassr.
The result of the match fits with your prediction. Al Nassr still could win with big scores although there is no Talisca on the lineup. Sure, Talisca is an important player for Al Nassr. But they have other great players, so it was not a big problem although Talisca was absent. Al Nassr goes to the next round of Saudi King CUP. I hope they won't face Al Hilal in semi-final, I really hope Al Hilal will play against Al Nassr in the final round.

It is impressive that he still could score 50 goals in a year. He is 38 years old, it is not easy to maintain the good performance in scoring at that age. A player must drop significantly his speed and his endurance when he reached 38 years old. But Ronaldo still has speed and great endurance at that age. It is simply impressive.

Talking about Ronlado we can always expect to see perfect performance from this player in any team he plays for and doesn't matter even if he is playing a team like Al Nassr or he is playing for another team in the top European league Ronaldo is still a team player and he didn't lose his good form yet however he is getting old.
Currently, Ronaldo is the top goal scorer in the world, and 50 goals is a great number for this player while playing in the Saudi League.

This time I am interested in seeing Al Ittihad's movements with their new coach, Marcelo Gallardo, who has handled Al Ittihad in 6 matches in all competitions. the result, not so bad. Of the 6 matches with his squad, 4 matches were won, one was a draw and one was lost. At least, Marcelo Gallardo is showing good progress. Apart from that, the Argentinian coach uses an offensive playing pattern, and I think Benzema really likes the system implemented by the coach who replaced Nino Santo, who previously managed Al Ittihad.

In the Club Wold Cup match, Al Ittihad defeated the opposing team, namely Auckland City. In fact, I don't know for sure whether their opponents are a strong team or not. However, one of the New Zealand League clubs is ranked 2nd. What is certain is that Al Hilal won the match smoothly. Plus, Bemzema returned to play with high performance and also contributed 1 goal in this match.

Well, this week Al Ittihad should have a meeting with Al Nassr. However, this match was postponed, because Al Ittihad will play an away match against Al Ahly, a club from Egypt. I want to see how far Marcelo Gallardo is able to take his team in a better direction. Moreover, in this match Al Ittihad was superior. But actually, I was more interested when Al Ittihad played a match in the Saudi Pro League, especially the match against Al Nassr.
