Cristiano Ronaldo will not play for Al-Nassr in the match against Al-Riyadh, dissatisfied with the treatment of his team compared to Al-Hilal and the refereeing.

Cristiano Ronaldo has decided not to play for Al-Nassr in the match on Monday against Al-Riyadh, due to frustrations regarding how his team is treated in the league. According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Ronaldo is upset about the inequalities in the management of teams in Saudi Arabia, especially in comparison to Al-Hilal, the reigning champion. This situation has been exacerbated by his dissatisfaction with the team's acquisition campaign and the refereeing, which he considers disadvantageous.

At the same time, Karim Benzema had a similar reaction, refusing the extension offer from Al-Ittihad and not showing up for a match, which has generated a crisis among the teams in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo desperately wants to win a trophy in Arabia, something that has not happened since his transfer in January 2023. Additionally, the Portuguese star recently spent the winter holidays in Lapland, where he accepted a challenge on Instagram, quickly garnering 500,000 likes. It remains to be seen how the officials at Al-Nassr will handle this new crisis.
