Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi Pro League’s dazzling star, will be taking a breather from Al-Nassr’s AFC Champions League match against Istiklol. Though he’s been tearing up the field with 26 goals in 24 appearances, the club decided to give him some well-deserved rest.
Sure, Ronaldo might not be adding to his impressive continental goal tally (he already has 3!), but Al-Nassr’s comfortable lead in Group E means they can afford this strategic move. With a spot in the last-16 already secured and five unbeaten matches under their belt, there’s no need to rush their star player.

This break is the perfect opportunity for Ronaldo, who recently sported some tape for a slight neck injury, to fully recover before their Friday match against Al-Riyadh. And let’s face it, even superheroes need their recharge days.
Remember that recent 3-0 loss to Al-Hilal? Well, some rowdy fans decided to serenade Ronaldo with chants of “Messi, Messi” as he walked off the field. But true to his style, the football legend kept his cool, blowing “flying kisses” their way. Now that’s some serious class.
So, while Ronaldo might be taking a temporary backseat, his absence doesn’t spell doom for Al-Nassr. And who knows, maybe a little rest will fuel him up for an even more explosive return!
