Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo got himself into a situation with the "message" he posted on the sidelines of his team Al-Nassr's match against Al-Ettifaq during the new season of the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo shared a message on his social media accounts, written in Arabic: "Al-Nassr is whoever is present," as a comment on his absence from the match against Al-Ettifaq, with the team fielding "substitute players."
However, Al-Nassr lost 1-2 to Al-Ettifaq on Monday, sparking mockery of the Portuguese legend, both from some fans and the opposing team. Al-Ettifaq responded via their official Twitter account to Ronaldo, saying: "When you have a knight among you, victory comes to you."
Ronaldo missed the match due to an injury he sustained in the second extra time of the final match of the King Salman Clubs Cup, where he secured the title for his team by scoring two goals against Al-Hilal (2-1) last Saturday. It is noteworthy that "Al-Nassr" entered the match with "substitute players" to rest the key players who participated against Al-Hilal last Saturday.
