Ronaldo didn’t score in his second game for Al-Nassr either! His team lost, fans in the stands chanted Messi’s name

Cristiano Ronaldo played his second competitive match in his new job on Thursday evening. However, he was unable to make an impact either. Moreover, his Al-Nassr lost and the fans of the opponent chanted the name of Lionel Messi.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s second competitive match in his new job. After a victorious debut, during which he was not one of the best players on the pitch, according to the statistics, he suffered a debut defeat for a change.

Al-Nassr faced Al-Ittihad, a very unpopular opponent, in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup. In fact, Ronaldo’s new team beat Al-Ittihad in 2018, since then they have not won 9 mutual matches.

And now that streak has rounded up to a clean ten, with the Portuguese star playing the entire match. Only, once again, without a goal and an assist. SofaScore has awarded Ronaldo a 6.9.

While that is a better number than most of his teammates received, it is certainly not something Ronaldo should be happy with. Let alone his new employer.

Al-Ittihad won 3-1 despite Al-Nassr’s superiority. Ronaldo himself had two shots, one of which went between the three posts. Otherwise, he was not very visible in the game, making only 22 successful passes in the whole match.

It is worth mentioning that before the game started, Al-Ittihad fans were chanting the name of Ronaldo’s long-time rival Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr will play their next match on Friday, March 3, when they take on Al-Fateh, currently the eighth team in the Saudi Arabian league.
