Will Cristiano Ronaldo finally be able to escape from Saudi Arabia.
Al Nasr, where Ronaldo is located, won 2-1 in the semi-finals of the 2025 Saudi Arabian Super Cup against RT Hard at Hong Kong Stadium in Hong Kong at 9 p.m. on the 19th (Korea time). Al-Nasr will face the winner of Al-Qaddashya and Il Ahli in the Super Cup final.
Al-Nasr is in the process of recruiting a storm to break his record in the transfer window this summer. It is having the most active transfer market among Saudi clubs. Joao Felix from Chelsea, Inigo Martinez from Barcelona and Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich have strengthened both their attack and defense. The three players who would help Ronaldo immediately started against RT Hard.
RT Hard also showed off its image as the winner of the Saudi professional league by starting all of the best players, including Steve Verwein, Hussem Auar, Musa Diaby, Fabinho and N'Golo Kante, with ace Karim Benzema at the center.
Al-Nasr, who changed, led 10 minutes into the first half. Marcello Brozovic momentarily penetrated to the left and received the ball. Brozovic delivered the ball strongly to the center, and Mane immediately connected the difficult ball with a non-stop shot to score the first goal.
However, RT Hard was not an easy opponent to collapse. In the 16th minute of the first half, Diaby moved to the left and attacked Al Nasr's back space. Diaby handed the pass to Verwein next to him when the goalkeeper came out, and Verwein finished lightly.
Al-Nasr has a super large variable. Danilu Pereira defended Mane in the 24th minute of the first half. Pereira tried to hand the ball over to the goalkeeper, and Mane followed through. Mane then stepped on the goalkeeper, and after VAR review, Mane was sent off.
Al-Nasr continued to torment RT Hard with a simple pattern of handing over to Ronaldo after a solid defense despite Mane's early exit. Ronaldo missed a decisive opportunity in the 13th minute of the second half, but he became a troubleshooter. In the 16th minute of the second half, Ronaldo broke through the RT Hard defense line with a perfect penetration. Ronaldo gave Felix the chance to score, which he finished with. There was an offside controversy during Ronaldo's penetration, but the referee admitted the score as it was.
Al-Nasr had several chances to score afterwards, but failed to open the gap. Al-Nasr finished by keeping the lead well. The win brings Ronaldo closer to his first trophy since moving to Al-Nasr.
Ronaldo has never lifted a trophy since moving to Al Nasr in December 2022. As a result, the two sides agonized over separating each other after the end of last season, but Al Nasr and Ronaldo decided to regroup. I strengthened my squad even more this summer to clear the irrelevance, and I faced a good situation where I could see the light right away.
