Cristiano Ronaldo issues defiant message after Al-Nassr loss

Al-Nassr have fallen four points behind Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Hilal after a 2-1 defeat to Al Qadsiah.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of 2026 from the penalty spot to halve the deficit, but it wasn’t enough as Jorge Jesus’ side suffered a second consecutive league loss.

Despite the setback, Ronaldo remains determined to claim his first major trophy since moving to the Middle East.

"It’s hard to compete with teams like Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, but we are still there, still pushing and fighting,” Ronaldo told Arab News.

“Football is like that; you have good moments and bad moments, but the most important thing is to be professional, to push hard, respect the club, respect your contract, and believe that things will change. For Al-Nassr, we’ll keep pushing to win more titles."
