For a team like Al Nassr Ronaldo is more than just a superstar player and I think he is a true leader in this team, if you check the performance of Al Nassr before Ronaldo started playing there, you can understand the difference in this team and I think this player is still motivated as you said and doesn't matter if he is getting old because if you check the performance of Ronaldo you can understand he scored even more goals when he reached 30 year old.
Now imagine a player like Talisca playing in the same team as Ronaldo obviously Al Nassr has strong attacks because of these players.

Some matches end in an unexpected way. Al-Khaleej placed at the 13^th position on the points table have drawn against one among the leading team Al-Taawoun. In this match Al-Taawoun could've struggled under pressure, fortunately the equaliser goal came within few minutes after the goal from Al-Khaleej's Lopez. Tomorrow's match of Al-Nassr have created expectation as the win/loss/draw have got importance in its position change.

I didn't bet on this game but I'm sure if I was going to predict this match I was predicting Al Taawoun winning this game because so far in this season they had a good performance even if they don't spend lots of money like the other teams during the summer, but still, Al Taawoun is on top of the table racing with other teams like Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
I did not expect to see them losing points today against Al Khaleej.

You are right. The Al Nassr attackers look very well, they played impressively and scored many goals. Ronaldo-Mane-Talisca-Otavio is a great combination for the attacking line, they also have Brozovic-Fofana in the midfield line. Meanwhile for the defense line, Al Nassr only has Laporte-Telles. So, Al Nassr needs 2 new defenders and 1 GK. But if Al Nassr signed 2 new top European defenders and 1 top GK, all the players in Al Nassr lineup will be European players. 

Ronaldo always plays with a high motivation. He still wants to create more records for his career. He also targets to win the trophies with Al Nassr as many as possible. That's why he always tries to play in his best level in each match. I think the discipline and the motivation are the keys why Ronaldo still can play impressively so far.

Because Al-Hazem was in the relegation zone, things should not have been difficult for Al Ittihad to win, but by the time the match was about to end, the score had become 2-2. The match is over. Al Ittihad had to give up Al-Hazem to get 1 point.
When Al-Hazem managed to change the score to 1-1, Al Ittihad quickly changed the chord again to 2-1. But within 5 minutes Al-Hazem made the match even more tense, becoming 2-2.

Al Hazem in this match is not like a team in the relegation zone.
Al Ittihad should have won with a large score margin, not 2-2.
Who is to blame for this result, the players or Nuno as coach.

Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the current GOATs of football, both of them have made hugh impacts in European football. Their presence have brought popularity and competitiveness in games, both at club and country football level. I'm a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, he has proven to survive in any club he plays for, and always make big names in his position. Moving to Saudi Arabia, I thought that was the end of limelight football for the Portugal international, but still surprises me to see him at his peak and outperform other young players in SPL. Ronaldo is aged, despite his age, he's still scoring world-class freekicks and magnificent goals for his club, Al Nassr.

In the first half at least, Al Hazem stats weren't too bad but still, the score at half time was 1-0 for Al Ittihad and Benzema got the goal in the 26th minute and Kante managed the assist for this score goal. After all, because Al Hazem are only a team which only in relegation zone, so it should that Al Ittihad won well and quickly too in this match. I means, Al Ittihad shouldn't have taken 80 minutes to score because after all, the evidence is Benzema also scored in the first half and make Al Ittihad are still leading 1-0 now.

I am in neutral position and not good comparison when comparing between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, I don't know when this debate ended both fans have more fanatism to compare Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi achievement. Can't predicting with the future of Lionel Messi career although he still not agrees for playing with Saudi Pro League but he still more younger than Ronaldo and have time for several years later opening his chance playing with Saudi Arabia club.
Current performed, Cristiano Ronaldo looks have better due his consistency scoring goals with Al Nassr but its not placed to talk about Lionel Messi because he still not plays with Saudi Pro League teams and better focus with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Will Benzema make another OG after scoring the first goal in this match against Al-Hazem like in the 10th SPL match against Al-Taawoun?
I don't think so. Because in the match against Al-Taawoun OG what Benzema made was an unintentional action which caused Al Ittihad to experience a draw when their position was already winning.

This match has just started the second half, Al-Hazem put up tough resistance in the first half. Al-Hazem dared to attack Al Ittihad's defense even though Al-Hazem was in the relegation zone.

This is not a good place to compare Messi and Ronaldo but both players left the European league and they prefer to play in a country where they can earn more money and help their families. As you know Ronaldo had a much more successful career even after he left the European leagues because now in Al Nassr, Ronalod is the most important player there while he is usually the best player in the month in Saudi League.

Taawoun was only able to get one point on matchday 11. Which was quite disappointing for them, because indeed Al Nassr has the potential to ake over Taawoun position in the standings.

In another match, Ittihad vs Hazm. Currently the Ittihad team is leading at halftime with one score by Benzema. But I hope Ittihad can add another score in the second half, to ensure they can secure full points in this match. After all, every match will be very important for them, so Ittihad must get full points for the title race.

Neymar missing is not the issue, Neymar being on that team was the big issue. Jorge Jesus is not the level of manager that knows how to handle the players and their psychology, while trying to keep Neymar happy by saying he is a big miss for them, he is making other players feel inferior to Neymar and he is not even aware of what he says could result.

The players that are left will feel like they could have been better with Neymar, your job as a manager is to make sure that the ones you have left are happy enough. That's just fine though, I think it is going to be a small damage to the team because they are not really doing anything that is shocking to anyone with him anyway, so without him it would not become too bad.

I think we can reverse the essence, not how much Neymar's injury affects the Al Hilal squad. because before Neymar joined, this team already had a competitive squad. So, for me the conclusion is different as you said. although, in fact there is nothing wrong with that.
Based on my point of view, Neymar's injury has had a big impact on Al Hilal's front line. because as we know, Neymar is a player who has high stability and above average skills. His presence with the team will increase the attacking power of Al Hilal's front line. Plus, Jorge Jesus has the option to rotate some of his players with the Brazilian star. Unfortunately, the plans and strategies that had initially been prepared by the club and the coach had to be postponed. However, Al Hilal continues to provide motivational support so that Neymar recovers quickly.

Regarding the Al Hilal versus Al-Ahli match, again I have a different opinion from you. Even though there is nothing wrong with that, it actually adds to our interest in discussions. For me, for temporary speculation, Al-Ahli will be the one who will be tested in this match. how Firmino and his colleagues played an away match, to overthrow the home team which incidentally was on fire, even without Neymar. To be sure, this match will be held tomorrow, we can research and examine it in more depth. Come on, let's wait.

Al Taawon played against a team that's been giving them a tough time in their last 5 matches, and what I understand is that they performed more better and even created more good chances to win the game but were very unlucky and conceded 1st in the match, however Al Taawon had a reply to equalize the game, however they tried their best to score more goals but Al Khaleej defense was very strong and they didn't allow the defending champions to get another goal.

 However they're currently in the 2nd position but have shot themselves on the leg cause failure to win the game could make them drop points and be at the 3rd position if Al-Nassr wins their own match and it would even give Al-Hilal and opportunity to top the league with more goal and extend the gap between them and other clubs.

I almost lost my bet on this match I was surprised in the second half I thought Al Taawon could at least score again at least 1 for the win but it turned out to be beyond my expectations before placing the bet I saw Al Khaleej defense was stronger than the first half and this was very clear It made things difficult for Al Taawon attacking players to launch several kicks at Al Khaleej goal but they all failed and only ended in a draw.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Talisca and Sadio Mane have impressed in the league and all three players have made huge contributions to Al-Nassr. I watched Al-Nassr's match against Al-Duhai and Ronaldo scored two goals in the match. Ronaldo's performance at Al-Nassr is also still quite good and he often provides assists to other players and it looks like he is still one of the best strikers at the moment. Ronaldo's maturity at this age is something extraordinary because he continues to score goals non-stop in every match.

The strength of Al-Nassr's front line is quite scary at the moment, they are the attackers who are so feared when playing together. Al-Nassr's position in the current standings is not in first place because they are four points behind the club strengthened by Neymar, but I am sure they will emerge as league champions this season.

In Europe, Ronaldo has become a top player and is also successful in various competitions. Now in Asia, Ronaldo looks like he will again achieve great success. The reason is, even though he is no longer young, Ronaldo still has very good performance overall. In the Asian Champions League alone, Ronaldo was able to score 3 goals in 3 matches. So Ronaldo can be said to still have good performance and is still able to compete with young players.

The head to head record between Al Taawon and Al Khaalej does have the same record. Namely with two wins and one draw each. So the match between Al Taawon VS Al Khaalej can indeed be said to be a balanced match if you look at the head to head record. However, if you look at the current SPL standings, Al Taawon is far superior to Al Khaleej. The reason is that currently Al Taawon is in 2nd place and Al Khaleej is in 13th place.

Apart from that, in the 70th minute, in terms of ball possession, Al Taawon was still in front. And if Al Taawon can continue to control the game this time by continuing to pressure Al Khaleej's defense, then I also have a prediction that Al Taawon will definitely be able to win the match.

Today Al Taawon has to face an opponent who has almost the same performance and currently when I write this the scoreline for Al Khaleej against Al Taawon is a 1-1 draw but I am still confident that Al Taawon will win because I see the pattern of the match between these two clubs Al Taawon is very easy to control the ball and I think at the end of the match we will see a score of 1-2 for Al Taawon.

It's true, Ronaldo seems to want to conquer every continent he approaches and I think he will do it this season. It's possible that Ronaldo will survive until the age you mentioned because his son wants to play Ronaldo someday before he retires so his son asks him to stay a little longer so that his dream can come true.

I think this is a story we should look forward to seeing the relationship between father and son who want to play on the same field before time runs out. We have often heard the word great to express Ronaldo's achievements and more precisely with his current situation, even though he has not won the world cup, he is still a GOAT.

I don't understand all this either. For me, CR7 is even more than worthy of being nominated for the Ballon d'Or. Everyone should see how he is no longer young but can still be superior to young players. Maybe other people can ignore CR7 who played well in the SPL but we cannot ignore CR7 who also played well in the UEFA EURO with the Portuguese national team.

Look at the list of top scorers at UEFA EURO and CR7 is clearly in second place with 9 goals. CR7 is more productive than MBappe and Haaland who are only at 5 and 6. In fact, for me, the assists that CR7 makes are always the most beautiful. CR7 combines the beauty of playing football when he shows his skills on the field.
