Ronaldo really deserves being classified as one of the greatest players of all time, since his arrival to the SPL he's been influential on the league and has made his team very successful this season they've got many achievements which includes;
The Arab Championship Cup.
Being 4th in the table currently.
Being 1st  their Champions league group stage.
Reaching the Semi finals of the Saudi Super Cup.
And reaching the round if 16 of the Kings Cup.

 Due to their performance that's got them to be successful so far their manager Luis Castro has won the Saudi Pro League manager of the month award for September, also a big  congratulations to C Ronaldo for winning the player of the month award two months in a row ( August/September).

This is really the saddest part in Asian sports we are having too much political influence in games and AFC is surely not strong and competitive like we have UEFA which is creating more mess-up and what happen in this match is not acceptable for anyone because recently we have good development in few things but suddenly again things one into wrong way which is going to hurt spirit of the sports hopefully we will have strong reaction from the AFC about this issue, and they will give their best opinion for the future as well.

Sepahan deserve punishment here for what the done in this game for preventing to face strong side like Al Ittihad if AFC fail to bring solid strategy for things like these then surely it's going to be worst for the future in this game which have good potential, but sadly we never came out of these dirty political influence.

Before Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nassr, Talisca was already an important player for the team's squad, he even scored 20 goals last season. If it's not wrong, in Talisca's first season with Al Nassr, he also scored at least 20 goals with Al Nassr. Since Ronaldo joined this team, there have been changes in the Al Nassr squad.

Now, Ronaldo is the Target Man in the Al Nassr squad. So it would be very natural if Ronaldo had a significant impact on Al Nassr. Likewise with his teammates, without them Ronaldo would not have scored 10 goals in 7 appearances in the Saudi Pro League this season.  It is appropriate for a team to work together when they play match after match.
If Ronaldo has a positive and impressive influence as you say, it is very natural given the wealth of experience he has. because after all, he is one of two mega stars who ever existed in his glory era in football history. Now, Ronaldo has friends he can rely on compared to last season. Their current target is to achieve the League Topfi, as well as in other competitions. Well, whether Ronaldo and his teammates are able to bring Al Nassr to win the League trophy this season, we'll see how far Al Nassr goes.

Al Hilal is a most successful club in Saudi Professional League with 18 titles. Two clubs behind Al Hilal with 9 titles are Al Ittihad and Al Nassr. Before Al Ittihad won Saudi Professional League in the last season, Al Hilal won three seasons in a row previously. They also want to come back by buying some start players in the summer including Neymar from PSG.

The big clash between them will be one of big milestone for this season race amongst four biggest clubs in the league: Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, Al Nassr and Al Ahli that all received money from PIF.

That's right. If you look at the quality of the players and the head to head records of the clubs that Al Nasr will face in the future. What is clear is that Al Nasr will definitely be superior and the possibility of winning every match is definitely very big. But even so, Al Nasr still has to remain vigilant and careful. Because even though the possibility is small, it doesn't rule out the possibility that the club that Al Nasr will play against could make a surprise. Because in the world of football, it is possible that a team that is labeled as weak and not favored can beat a team that is truly strong. However, if you look at Al Nasr's record in each match, it seems that the possibility of losing is very small.

Then apart from that, Ronaldo can currently be said to be in very good times. Because it has been proven, in almost every match Ronaldo always scores goals and assists. But apart from Ronaldo, Talisca's performance is no less great in my opinion. Because he has always made great contributions to Al Nasr. Because if you look at the matches, I see that Talisca's game is getting better and in almost the last few matches, Talisca has always scored goals. So it could be said that Al Nasr is currently in its best period. Maybe it's all because the chemistry between the players has formed well.

And for Al Nasr's match against Al Hilal or Al Ittihad, perhaps this match could be said to be the deciding match, to win the top position in the standings this season.

Yes of course it will still be difficult match for Al Ahli, because Al Ahli will also be the away team against Al Ittihad in the next match in the Saudi Pro League. I also think that there seems to be no chance for Al Ahli to beat Al Ittihad at their home ground at King Abdullah Sports City . Because if, even if we consider the existing head to head results and also even if we consider the available odds factors, it seems indeed nothing can really boost the good performance and good results for Al Ahli in this match . Therefore, I am confident that it will be difficult match for Al Ahli to win this match, because maybe Al Ahli can only try for a draw result even though that still seems difficult.

And you will stop watching Saudi Pro League after Ronaldo retired.

Saudi Pro League will not survive when their big players aren't play in their league anymore, if they can get Haaland and Mbappe, most people will put their eyes in Saudi Pro League. But the chance to see both of them to join this league during their prime is near zero.

So we're just enjoy the moment and say goodbye when the time comes.

The Al-Ahli vs Al-Ettifaq match ended in a draw. And in general, the quality of play of these two clubs is not much different. It's just that for me Al-Ahli was clearly superior in that match. Several times Al-Ettifaq's back line was quite overwhelmed by the attack patterns developed by Al-Ahli. I think Firmino is a really good player even though he hasn't restored his attacking sharpness. It's just that he can always put good pressure on the opponent's defense.

Al-Ettifaq they are very organized. Even though they didn't have many opportunities to attack. But Al-Ettifaq players can always handle Al-Ahli's attacks very well. They could read the direction of Al-Ahli's attack. So yes, these two clubs have advantages and disadvantages to each other.

The next match against Al-ittihad will definitely be very difficult. Because actually Al-Ittihad is strong even without Benzema. Last season Cr7 even felt the greatness of Al-ittihad who were still without Benzema. So Al-Ahli must prepare for this more difficult match.

I saw this news via Twitter and it is very unfortunate why football has to be mixed up with political matters which will definitely be detrimental to various parties. Al-Ittihad came with more confidence to win the match and it seemed that their opponents were not ready to face them and tried to do something stupid so that Al-Ittihad could withdraw from this competition. I think the AFC must be able to provide appropriate sanctions for Sepahan so that they can understand that in football everything is equal and there should be no other "interests" in it that could damage the image of football itself.

How does a draw indicate that two teams have the same quality of play? When out of coincidence Real Madrid loses against Las Palmas, is Real Madrid worse than Las Palmas? I think it needs a lot more things to judge the quality of play other than the result. The result can be the consequence of many events including luck.

Benzema is just one factor and I wouldn't give him too much credit anymore. He can be important to the team and there I agree, but to say that they are doomed to lose or something when he is injured just goes too far.

Not always but he scored many goals for Al Nassr and wasted many opportunities too. If he is younger, has better body, I believe he would not miss those opportunities but it is life and his career is already very long. At his age, many old players would choose retirement and enjoy their life, not continue playing like Cristiano. I admire his ambition and motivation to keep playing with highest professional but fact is he is actually affected by his age recent seasons. He scored many goals by help of his team mates and he should thank to his team mates for great chances and assists he got so far.

It is true that Cristiano is a first brick to kick off a massive wave of super star and star players from Europe to Saudi Arabia. The league and clubs there do not only have star players but also have three super star players, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar. If Messi had not refuse to join, they would have gotten him too.

Al-Ahli seems to have to face strong clubs successively. This week they played against Al-Ettifaq and no one won or lost the match. Which indicates that both have the same quality of play. So the match ended in a draw.

Next week Al-Ahli will also have to face a tougher enemy, namely Al-Ittihad. And I think this will make it much more difficult for Al-Ahli than when competing with Al-ettifaq. But Al-Ahli still has a chance to be superior if Benzema is still injured and unable to play for Al-Ittihad. Firmino CS has to work harder this time. Because Al-Ahli is slowly losing its place in the top 4 of the current standings.

Ronaldo has always become savior for al nassr. He was not only helping al nassr but he was also helping the league so much in pushing it to be larger scale competition with so many european stars on it. It's very hard to imagine the league without him.
He has been also convincing a lot of european players to move there. Many people said that his age was preventing him in producing as many goals as possible but they are all wrong.

Ronaldio is always keeping his stamina no matter if he is aged. Ronaldo will always try to put his name in the leader board of top scorer for this season. It's likely that if we will see another record to be made by him.
Asian champion club has become his main target by ronaldo and al nassr to compete in the world cup club.

Everything is still going as a plan by ronaldo and al nassr. I expect another easy run for al nassr in ACL. I hope that ronaldo will able to become top scorer in ACL.
My feeling said that if we will see the final of ACL between ittihad vs nassr.

I don't think I've personally paid attention into watching the Saudi Pro League like in the present. This is one of the greatest thing Ronaldo has brought to the league entirely. Ronaldo's featuring in Al-Nassr is a big deal for the entire league and not the club alone. Al-Nassr's consistency since the coming of Ronaldo, has not only encouraged the club to win consecutively but have also pushed other players in the club to work harder. Ronaldo is acting a fatherly figure to the squad and has given the league more attention. Yesterday's three win over the one goal scored by Istiklol was a good one.


Al Nassr is doing awesomely, from the August this year until yesterday, Al Nassr has played approximately 16 matches, home and away in the ACL and Saudi Pro League. In all of those matches, the club has won 13 matches, draw in only 1 match and lost only 2 matches. I don't think any club has gotten a better performance like Al Nassr so far, especially since the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane into the club. What I will encourage the club to do now is to get a better goalkeeper, th one goal scored by Istiklol yesterday was avoidable, if Nawaf Al-Aqidi could put more efforts. I was impressed by Brazilian midfielder, Talisca's performance too.

 Al Nassr winning against Istiklol in Asia Champions League was really amazing to the club and the fans, since Sadio Mane wasn't in the starting lineup and wasn't even on the bench, I was doubting that Al Nassr will not win the match against FC Istiklol. I thought the game would be very difficult to win, because Istiklol was leading with 1-0, but they came up with the victory. Cristiano will always be the leader he came up with the equalized, Talisca came with the winning points the third goal assist from Ghareeb it was amazing. I think the team will be grateful for Cristiano Ronaldo's presence because he made a lot of improvements.

I don't believe Al Hilal or Ittihad will present a significant challenge for Al Nassr this season because of their improved performances from last year. However, since we are aware of how the footballs can change, it is possible for Al Nassr to earn points against either club. I do, have, believe that Al Nassr may lead the league after winning their upcoming games because the teams leading the league are only passing them by one and two points.

Cristiano Ronaldo not only has a good impact on the Al-Nassr club, but Cristiano Ronaldo also has a bigger good impact on Arab football. Even Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to go to Al-Nass last season has now been followed by more star players.

It didn't stop there, even after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Arab League. This has resulted in many media and TV companies fighting over the broadcasting rights to broadcast Arab football, especially in the Saudi Pro League. Apart from being a talented player, he has also become a legend in the world of football. Cristiano Ronaldo also has the most followers and fans ever for a football player. Wherever he goes, all the news media always follow him.

I even became fond of watching Arabic football after Cristiano Ronaldo came to Al-Nassr.

The victory against FC Istiklol has proven Al Nassr is really onfire because from all competitions Al Nassr has gets 10 winning streak and since they were beat by Al-Taawon on August Al Nassr has find their shape again because they always gets the winning results since that loses and from those winning results Al Nassr can able to win with big scores several times and yesterday on Asian Champion league Al Nassr has gets easy win from FC Istiklol and during the match i can see Al Nassr was very dominate the game because they didn't give any chance to FC Istiklol to develop their game and luckily all of FC Istiklol defender players were performing well and they didn't lose with big scores and this Friday Al Nassr will fight against FC Abha on Saudi Pro league and i am confident they will be able to resumes their winning streak from this match because FC Abha is weak team in this competition

Forgot about Sadio Mané.. He started playing for Al Nassr quite recently (he started from this season onwards and has taken part in all of their 8 matches so far). He has scored 6 goals from 8 matches at this point and has played a big part in Al Nassr's fortunes. Among Al-Nassr players, only Cristiano Ronaldo is ahead of Mané (10 goals from 8 matches). The case with Malcom is exactly similar as that of Mané. He started playing for Al Hilal from this season onwards and his record is exactly same as that of Mané (6 goals from 8 matches).

Al Ittihad seems to be competing in the AFC. A short while ago Sepahan's match against Al Ittihad was cancelled. This is because Sepahan refuses to remove banners and statues that have a political element. Al Ittihad had previously coordinated and asked for the attributes in the stadium to be removed. but it seems that Sepahan did not want to so Al Ittihad chose to leave and not compete. Iran and the Arabs have been feuding for 7 years and they have signed an agreement for diplomatic relations. Yes, I think Al Ittihad has the right to do this. This may have been the best decision and seemed to have the support of Arab governments.

This is a match not to be missed and looking at the H2H of both teams even before the arrival of several European players since the summer, it is quite clear that these two teams are actually quite evenly matched. However, as hosts Al-Ittihad will be slightly favored and I think they can win even if only by a narrow score. We know that each of these teams has European players in various positions and this will show a more competitive match like matches in other top European leagues. Maybe the betting issue will be the most difficult thing here and I think the over 2.5 goals option is still quite safe until BTTS because it is certain that there will be goals scored and it is impossible for the score to end without goals from both teams.
