Al Nassr secured their spot in the Saudi Super Cup final following their 2-1 victory over Al Ittihad on Tuesday in which Ronaldo played a key role as he searches for his first trophy with the club which has evaded him since he joined the side in December 2022.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star has netted as many as 938 goals from 1,281 games across competitions for club and country in his career. He continues to prove himself as one of the world’s greatest football talents despite his age which many thought would slow him down.
Speaking after the game, Jesus, who has been in charge for a matter of weeks praises the Portuguese international who will be desperate to beat either Al-Ahli or Al-Qadisiyah in the Saudi Super Cup final on Saturday.
"Ronaldo is a great example for world football. He's 40 years old and delivers athletic and physical performances. And let's not forget that 80% of the fans in the stadium are here because of Ronaldo. Al-Nassr deserves to have this global star."
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will go down as one of the game's greatest ever players and if he secures his first bit of silverware at Al-Nassr he will extend his time at the top of the list of the world’s greatest ever players as all eyes turn to Saturday.
