Al-Nassr took another step towards the title of Saudi Arabian champion this Thursday, winning on the lawn of Al-Shabab (2-4). With two more matches to play this season, the Riyadh club is five points ahead of its first pursuer – Al-Hilal – who for his part still has three acts to honor.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who arrived in the kingdom in 2023, has never been so close to a new national coronation, he who has already been champion of England three times, champion of Spain twice and champion of Italy twice. And yet things almost degenerated today on the sidelines.
As he returned to the locker room at the break in this match which saw him score a goal and assist in his compatriot Joao Felix’s hat-trick, CR7 clashed with various members of the opposing technical staff. First with detachment then with a clear desire to fight. The intervention of several protagonists was fortunately able to cut the altercation short.
