Cristiano Ronaldo (41, Al-Nasr) has been cited as the cause of his first defeat of the season. Fans were under intense pressure to retire.
Al Nasr lost 2-3 in the 13th round of the "2025-2026 Saudi Professional League" against Al Ahli at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on the 3rd (Korea time).
It was Alnasr's first loss of the season, which had been undefeated (10 wins and 1 draw) in its opening 11 games in a row. Al-Nasr, who had 31 points, allowed second-place Al-Hilal (29 points), who played one less game, to chase by two points.
What is more painful than the team's defeat is the cold reaction of fans toward captain Ronaldo. Ronaldo played full time on the day, but remained silent at a critical moment. A total of four shots were attempted, but only one effective shot was carried.
The biggest mistake came in the 16th minute of the second half when Al-Nasr trailed 2-3. Ronaldo had a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper in the chance to tie the game. However, he lost his chance by missing the shooting timing with rough ball control.
While Ronaldo remained silent, Al Ahli striker Ivan Toney, who played in the EPL in the past, scored multiple goals in the first half.
After the game, Alnasr fans blasted Ronaldo intensely, according to the soccer specialized 'Goal Dotcom'. In particular, he was disappointed at the scene where he wasted a decisive scoring opportunity.
According to the media, fans said, "Ronaldo played a game worthy of entering the Hall of Fame today," and "Ronaldo should retire now." There are no excuses anymore," he responded furiously.
Also, "Ronaldo is the main culprit of the defeat. I lost more than one chance. "I have nothing to say," "Ronaldo is completely done now. Looks like he waited until the football left him. If you play forcibly, you will set a record of 1,000 goals, but your performance is disastrous," and "Your performance was trash."
