Cristiano Ronaldo ended his protest period and scored during his return to Al Nassr, leading them to a 2-0 victory over Al Fateh in the Saudi Arabian League.
Cristiano Ronaldo has concluded his protest against Al Nassr, scoring a goal in his return to the squad during their 2-0 victory over Al Fateh in the Saudi Arabian League. This marks his first goal since turning 41 on February 5, and he remains focused on his ambitious target of reaching 1,000 goals in his career.
The protest arose from Ronaldo's disagreement over perceived preferential treatment given to Al Hilal by the Public Investment Fund, which manages clubs in Saudi Arabia. He had previously refrained from participating in two matches due to these grievances but made his comeback on Saturday, a significant moment not only for him but for Al Nassr fans who have closely followed his journey.
Ronaldo was not alone in returning; notable players such as Íñigo Martínez, Kingsley Coman, Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, and Joao Felix also resumed play during this match after being absent in a previous game against Arkadag in the Asian Champions League. This collective return highlights a rejuvenation in the team as they aim to compete in both local and international tournaments.
