After the first half whistle, fans at Tahnoun Bin Mohamed Stadium continuously chanted “Messi, Messi”. Cristiano Ronaldo kept a cold face and entered the tunnel.

When the final whistle blew, home fans continued to mock CR7. This time, the Portuguese superstar turned around, smiled defiantly and pointed as if to say: “See you in Riyadh”.

Ronaldo responded to Al Ain fans.

Against Al Ain, Ronaldo was expected to extend his scoring streak to 10. However, the former MU star played lacklusterly. Ronaldo is separated from the midfield. In addition, his best partner at Al Nassr, Anderson Talisca, is also absent due to a muscle injury.

In 90 minutes, CR7 only had 2 chances, including a cushion from less than 7 meters away, but both failed to beat the excellent reflexes of the home goalkeeper. In the end, Al Nassr lost 0-1 in the quarterfinals of the first leg of the AFC Champions League.

After the match, a fight broke out between players from both sides. However, Ronaldo just looked back and did not participate.

“We just defeated a world-class team. Anyway, I always love Ronaldo,” said Khalid Eisa, Al Ain goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Khalid Hashemi, Eisa’s teammate, revealed: “Ronaldo told me that Al Nassr will win in the second leg”.

The second leg of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals between Al Nassr and Al Ain took place at 2:00 a.m. on March 12.
