Cristiano Ronaldo was savagely trolled by Al-Shorta’s Ahmed Zero, who called him ‘the second best player in history’ by uploading a photo to Instagram.
The Portuguese propelled his side to the Arab Cup of Champions Cup final after scoring from the penalty spot against Al-Shorta in the last four. His popularity in the Middle East has skyrocketed since he left Manchester United for Saudi Arabia in December 2022. It became common for him to take pictures with players from rival clubs and he agreed when Zero asked for a photo.
Zero uploaded the photo to his Instagram account and captioned it: “With the second best player in history”.
Although he refrained from mentioning who he thinks is the best player, the fans in the comments section were quick to glorify his great rival, Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo has been in sensational form in the 2023-24 season and has scored in four straight games in the Arab Champions Cup. In total, he has scored 18 goals and provided three assists in 24 appearances for Al-Nassr since his debut in January.
Ronaldo can claim his first trophy with Al-Nassr on Saturday night if the Knights of Najd defeat rivals Al-Hilal in the Arab Champion Clubs’ Cup final.
