Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to continue the strike in Saudi Arabia and will not play against Al-Ittihad either. The Portuguese accuses the officials of the Saudi championship of favoring certain teams.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese star of Al-Nassr, has decided to continue his strike and will miss the match against Al-Ittihad, scheduled for Friday. The reason for his absence is not an illness or an injury, but a personal protest against the way Saudi football authorities manage transfers. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo is particularly contesting the transfer period, which has disadvantaged his team. Al-Nassr, currently in third place in the Saudi league standings, failed to strengthen during the last transfer window, in contrast to leaders Al-Hilal, who acquired important players like Karim Benzema. Unhappy with these discrepancies, Ronaldo, the team's top scorer with 17 goals, has decided not to play in the next match, although he attended training, maintaining the appearance of normality.
