Cristiano Ronaldo completed his suspension and returned to action in the win over Al-Khaleej and the Portuguese has sent out a motivational message.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was included in Luis Castro's starting lineup against Al-Khaleej after his two-match suspension for violent conduct during Al-Nassr's 2-1 loss to Al-Hilal in the Suadi Super Cup semi-final was reduced to a one-match ban. The match against Al-Khaleej was settled by Aymeric Laporte's winner in the 67th minute and Ronaldo had a message for fans after the win.
WHAT RONALDO SAID
After the match, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward posted on Instagram and captioned his post: "Happy with the win, let’s keep it going!"
THE BIGGER PICTURE
In the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr have been stuck in a sort of limbo with their second-place spot very well secured over the last few matchdays. They sit nine points behind league leaders Al-Hilal and are also 19 points ahead of Al-Ahli in third place.
WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO?
Al-Nassr will play against Al-Khaleej yet again as they will take on Pedro Emanuel's side in the semi-finals of the King Cup of Champions on Wednesday, May 1.
