Al Nassr kicked off the season in top form, securing 10 consecutive wins. As a result, they emerged as clear favorites to beat Al Ittihad in their King’s Cup match. However, they suffered a surprising elimination from the tournament, marking their second failed attempt after the Super Cup. After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo swiftly delivered a short eight-word message to his teammates and fans.
After failing to score in today’s game, Cristiano Ronaldo broke his silence following Al Nassr’s defeat just over an hour after the final whistle, saying: “We stand tall, learn, and move forward together,” he wrote, via X, formerly Twitter.
With today’s defeat, Al Nassr suffered their second loss of the season since the arrival of coach Jorge Jesus, once again highlighting the team’s persistent defensive issues despite the addition of Iñigo Martinez. Following this setback, fans have questioned the performances of Abdullah Alkhaibari and Marcelo Brozovic, expressing concerns about their ongoing lack of defensive solidity, which undermines the efforts made by the central defenders.
