Ronaldo’s unbelievable miss.

In the match that took place in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) last night (April 30), Al-Nassr lost to the Japanese team with a score of 2-3. The two players who scored for Al-Nassr were Sadio Mané (minute 28) and Aiman Yahya (minute 87). On the opposite side, Kawasaki Frontale had three goals by Ito (10′), Ozeki (41′) and Ienaga (76′).

Similar to many Al-Nassr matches over the past three years, Ronaldo continued to be the focus of the confrontation between this Saudi Arabian team and Kawasaki Frontale.

However, against the representative from Japan, Ronaldo disappointed when he did not score, did not assist, lost the ball 13 times and missed two clear opportunities.

Notably, after the loss, he stood in the middle of the field and did some strange things: talking to himself and waving his arms and legs in confusion. According to Saudi Arabian media, Ronaldo may have blamed himself for missing a golden opportunity to score in the 90+6 minute.

Specifically, in this situation, Ronaldo passed the goalkeeper of Kawasaki Frontale but was slow, indecisive in finishing, creating opportunities for the opposing defender to block. CR7’s missed opportunity prevented coach Stefano Pioli’s team from tying the score at 3-3 and brought the match into extra time.

With his elimination from the AFC Champions League, Ronaldo is at risk of going empty-handed for the third consecutive year at Al-Nassr. Currently, coach Stefano Pioli and his team only have a slim hope left in the Saudi Arabian National Championship.

Before the final five rounds, Al-Nassr is ranked third in the rankings, 8 points behind the leader Al-Ittihad. The large gap and unstable performance make their chances of winning the 2024-2025 Saudi League almost gone.
