Al Fateh vs Al Nassr: Will It Be Cristiano Ronaldo's Last Match for Al Nassr?

Al Fateh will welcome Al Nassr in the season's final match at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium, Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia on Monday (May 26). However, this game might mark Cristiano Ronaldo’s last appearance, as several reports suggest he may part ways with the SPL team after the season concludes.

Al Nassr have faced a challenging Saudi Pro League season, and with one fixture left, they can accumulate only 70 points at most—12 fewer than the previous season when they finished second. They were also eliminated from the AFC Champions League Elite semi-finals by Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale.

In their last match against Al Khaleej, the Knights of Najd secured a 2-0 victory following a frustrating draw with Al Taawoun. That result pushed Stefano Pioli’s side out of third place and ensured they won't participate in the AFC Champions League Elite next season. Nevertheless, in the game against Khaleej, Ronaldo netted a late penalty goal.

Moreover, Al Nassr risks missing out on any continental competition next season, needing a third-place finish and hoping Al Ittihad defeats Al Qadsiah in the King's Cup final later this month to qualify for the AFC Champions League Two. Therefore, this game holds great significance for Al Nassr, and they are expected to deploy their best lineup.

Al Fateh vs Al Nassr: Is This Ronaldo’s Last Match for Al Nassr?

Multiple sources have reported that Ronaldo is dissatisfied with the disappointing results of the SPL club during his time and the lack of opportunities to feature in international tournaments. With this campaign, the opportunity to play in the AFC Champions League Elite is gone, and participation in other continental events remains uncertain.

Given this, there is a strong possibility that Ronaldo might transfer to another league or potentially to a different club within the same league. In the latter case, Saudi fans may still get to witness Ronaldo’s brilliance. Still, the odds are high that this could be his last home appearance for the Knights of Najd.

Although he missed two recent matches against Al Okhdood and Al Taawoun, the Portuguese icon returned for the full match against Al Khaleej. Since there have been no injury updates or concerns suggesting Ronaldo will sit out—and with the game being crucial for Al Nassr—it is anticipated that he will play in this fixture.
