Ronaldo was held scoreless for the second consecutive game as his team fell 0-1 to Al Ittihad in the first place match

Cristiano Ronaldo was in fine form in February. He scored 8 goals and added two assists in four games for his Al Nassr team. However, the beginning of March did not go as he had hoped, and his team fell in the battle for first place with Al Ittihad.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival in Saudi Arabia was criticised by many. The Portuguese footballer had already resigned himself to his career and basically went to finish his career in a country where he hasn’t been going much.

He didn’t score a goal for Al Nassr in his first game, followed by a 1-3 defeat to Al Ittihad in the Super Cup and the criticism grew. It was also heard from some influential people who regretted the money spent on this player.

But February was a good month for Ronaldo. He scored his first goal in Al Fateh’s net and it was at least a 2:2 draw, but then he was on a roll.

He scored 4 goals for Al Wehda, he didn’t score for Al Taawon, but he assisted on two of them and against Damac it was a hat-trick. Fans were so excited to see his skills in the next games.

But it didn’t come. Al Nassr won 3-1 against Al Batin, but the Portuguese didn’t score. The same was true in the clash with rival Al Ittihad.

The home side were better, kept the ball more on their feet and won the match with a goal from Romarinho in the 80th minute. The result is all the worse because it meant Al Nassr moved into second place just behind their rival.

In addition, Al Shabab closed in on a three-point deficit. The Saudi Arabian top league is currently in its 20th round, so it is only in its third round and Ronaldo and co. have plenty of time to make amends.
