That’s one thing that CR7 thrives on, criticism and with him not having to see Argentina win the World Cup, his transfer to the Saudi side, his been hit by a lot of it but it suddenly seemed to have opened up opportunities for the rest of Europe to join in and make the league great again. Thanks to CR7 the Saudi league is now looking like a good watch and with the quality of players to have joined up, Al Nassr might just be unmatched.

The skills of Sadio Mane and Brozovic would serve a very useful tool to the upgrade to CR7 who was already making waves and have proven himself once more with another trophy to his name. It would be interesting to see how the Saudi side would proceed hence forth, especially in the UCL.

The game was very much interesting,  and it wasn't easy with Al Nassr players but at last they still won the game .  Ronaldo was able to score two goals which was very impressive, I didn't expect Ronaldo to score goals in the game and I didn't expect Al Nassr would win the game because of terrible challenges that their players went through in the game.

As stated the match is really dramatic. The team that leads on the goal all of the sudden missed opportunity and the opponent have won the match with two goals coming at the second half of the match. Somehow Ronaldo have fulfilled one of the expectation and soon he'll lift the Saudi Arabia Pro league. Now every teams were almost prepared for the next season of SPL.

This of the two biggest teams in the Saudi League, we know very well that they are a classic, great rivals and that they have a lot to give, it is also the team that always finds it very difficult for Al Nassr, we eight players, as fans of the football we know that CR7 is a great reference for this league, that Al-Hilal is the most famous team and that now with everything that is happening in football it is the final, a final that Al Nassr was very much in floor, but thanks to the fact that CR7 did great things, a goal that was too safe, is what keeps him now in the final, now, I wonder how the hearts of the sheikhs who are heads of these teams are.

As for me, I think this league has a lot to give and offer for everyone, I know that we are used to playing styles in Europe, but I like this game, I wonder if they will leave enough in extra time ? That is another of the things that catches my attention about this Saudi football.

In addition to this, I liked that the protagonist of this match was CR7 with those 2 masterful goals.

Personally, I am very happy that this victory was won by Al Nassr and above all by CR7, he is a person who is doing well, despite the fact that it has been a stormy year for him, his criticisms and everything he has. What to do with his person, that he wins this Saudi League championship will make many remain silent, it really is something that I like and I am happy for him, this type of thing is what the most hateful have to do, who are always pending to look for negative things about the player, what I admire the most is the perseverance and patience that the player has had, it is something impressive.

It's also a source of pride, even though I'm not from the beautiful country of Portugal, because this victory represents a lot for this player, everyone should be happy for the work he did alongside his team.

Al Nassr with a huge win after losing 1-0 and with 10 men they were able to turn it around. Who else then Cristiano Ronaldo. This maybe a non europe competition but the guy keeps scoring in the most important matches for his teams. This two goals were just so big for Al Nassr. Still at this age he shows his amazing quality,just amazing.

What about the 2016 european championship? Without Ronaldo, Portugal would not have won the trophy.

Just yesterday, Ronaldo won the Arab Champions Cup with a double in the final and became the top scorer of the tournament with 6 goals.
In general, Ronaldo has excellent statistics, he 7 times became the top scorer of the Champions League. He was the best by the number of goals in the championships of England, Italy, Spain and also twice was the top scorer in European championships.
I am not a great fan of Ronaldo and I do not always like his behavior, but we can not ignore his hard work and will to win at any cost, you can not take that away from him.

Ronaldo finally brought Al Nassr to get a trophy from this very dramatic match. and he won't get boos from fans. after failing to deliver the SPL trophy last season, now Ronaldo is showing his role. and this would suggest Al Nassr will be better equipped to start the new season in the SPL.
of course, the competition will be more interesting with Ittihat and Al Hilal. Al Nassr may not want to lose the chance to get the SPL trophy they missed last season. this season, they need to be stronger.

And finally Ronaldo got it 2 goals from Ronaldo saved Al Nassr from chaos  he is always motivated under any circumstances he really can be relied upon
I don't know if this is only luck for Al Nassr because the match seems balanced in attacks and shots even Al Hilal is a little more dominating from all sides
We can imagine if Al Nassr played without Ronaldo there maybe the final result can be different it might lose.

Cut the Crap!

Did Portugal not win on of the last Euro's ? 2016, France hosted the Competition but failed to win. 2019 Portugal won the  National League and FIFA Confederation in the year 2017.
Why all these hate on Cristiano Ronaldo? Mate, believe me he deserves all of the flowers and respect in the world. Goals are goals even though they're assisted from his teammates.

He's more like a Central Attacker now, he no longer has that energy to come from the flanks running and dribbling. Football has upgraded from dribbling to scoring goals. He's adapted nicely. Whoever doesn't like what he's doing can ignore. Period!
There shouldn't be for comparisons between him and Lionel Messi. They're both great players who has been consistent for the past fifteen good years.

Anyway, congratulations to Al Nassr who finally won the Arab Club Champions Cup trophy for the first time, with a match full of drama. Because quite a few players got yellow cards and red cards in the Al Nassr squad, including Al Nassr coach Luis Castro who got a red card too. But yes, congratulations also to Ronaldo who managed to make two goals in this match, as well as being the decisive goal for Al Nassr victory. Also, I really appreciate Al Nassr goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aqidi for playing well, because after Al Nassr played with only 10 players, it made the attacks made by Al Hilal always endanger the Al Nassr goal.

Red card Alamri , & N Boushal
When two defenders in a team get two red cards in 7 minutes, it is very difficult to estimate how much balance the nine players can keep in that team. Although an extra 30 minutes of play is going into the break, Al Nasser is currently leading by one goal. Sadio Mane is playing well enough and if he can score a goal in the last minute it will make their victory in the final much easier. Let's see what happens in the extra 15 minutes.

CR7 74',98'
Continuing.....

Congratulations,, Al Nasser
Champion of Arab Club Champions Cup

Firmino was MOTM in that game. I saw that how impressive his performance. His team mate was also supporting him in making hattrick. The quality from EPL player was very high. Mendi needs to be evaluated as this guy was doing something bad like wrongly passing to the his opponent which was unacceptable. The great thing there was firmino who is able helping the club to win the game with huge scores. Im feeling if ahli gonna be another big club in saudi pro league.
This is not the same like old ahli. The current ahli is far better compared with it was relegated. I saw huge changes happened with this club after buying some great players from different league. Money has changed al ahli.
Im sure this club will not be relegated again this season.

I believe that a five times increase from now is not enough for the league to accommodate top players in few years to come.  Cristiano Ronaldo entered the league at the end of the previous season, and since then, we have witnessed a significant improvement in the quality of players in that league. If additional top players join the league by the following season, which I have confidence will happen, the Saudi Arabian League will play at a higher level of competition. The media attention they're receiving will increase their league exposure, which will increase their revenue from viewers.

unfortunately in lagging conditions, Al Nassr had to play with 10 players after their defender, Al Amri had to receive a red card. if Al Hilal is still playing defensively, it probably won't affect playing with 3 defenders. but if a change in attack pattern occurs, it is dangerous for Al Nassr.
but Ronaldo seemed to be the savior after the intensity of Al Nassr's attacks finally paid off to equalize the score.

Al Nassr is putting on presure on Al Hilal and i think we might see one more goal by the end of the match and from the Al Nassr side. Ronaldo is close to the first trophy with Al Nassr but so far it dosent look like that will happen. Al hilal is holding on and they just need to hold on for 20 more minutes and win the trophy.

After finishing the first half goalless, Al Hilal managed to create a goal in 6 minutes of the second half, precisely in the 51st minute. In terms of opportunities Al Nassr had more chances, it's just that at the beginning of the second half their concentration was not fully created so that 1 goal could be shot by Al Hilal players.
There is still plenty of time for Al Nassr to balance the score or even return the situation. It's difficult because now it looks like Al Hilal are focusing more on their defense to maintain the existing score. 30 minutes is a long time to turn things around, be it for Al Hilal, or for Al Nassr.

The match is already in the second half now in the final event of the Arab Club Champions Cup, and Al Nassr is 1-0 down after conceding in the 51st minute. Although Al Nassr basically had a good dominance in the first half too, but Al Nassr still did not manage to make a goal, and instead conceded first. With Al Nassr trailing like this, it seems like Al Nassr is under a lot of pressure and it might make it more difficult for Al Nassr to score a goal. At least, with Ronaldo and Mane in squad, I hope Al Nassr can turn things around and win the Arab Club Champions Cup for the first time.

Ronaldo is an effect and it must be admitted that the Saudi Arabian league will increasingly show a class that is equal to other leagues in Europe, though not surpassed or fully equalized for future league processes.

Even though the odds given to Al Nassr are more tempting, Al Hilal's abilities cannot be underestimated either. These two teams have undergone quite fierce competition in the league and they are both also competing to bring in European players. The game will be much more balanced and quite attractive for each time the two teams attack, but as I mentioned before and maybe I hope Al Nassr will come out victorious.

Today we will see the final of the Arab club champions which will bring together Al-Hilal against Al-Nassr. We know the rivalry of these two teams in the Saudi league is very hot and this is a decisive match for both of them to win the first title before continuing to the Saudi league competition. This will also be a proving ground for Cristiano Ronaldo to be able to get his first title with Al-Nassr and it seems that it will not be easy enough because Al-Hilal has other European players such as Ruben Neves, Milikovic Savic, Koulibally and Malcom. But of course, this time too, Cristiano Ronaldo is not alone because there are other European players who have participated in strengthening the depth of the Al-Nassr squad, such as Seko Fofana, Sadio Mane, Brozovic, and Alex Telles. These two big Arab teams are very balanced and we can see these European stars heating up the atmosphere again through this match.

Liverpool let go one of the most dangerous attacker, his absence will be felt, perhaps they'll adapt to play league games without him, Jurgen Klopp will signed more potential talents. Robert Firmino is an experienced player, he knows what to do at all times, he is one of the outstanding striker in Europe, moving to SPL, alot is expected from him in his new team. The Brazilian adapts so fast with the club pattern, he's performance was stellar and the support hoped he continued that way because he would be am important key project of the club.
