Cristiano Ronaldo has been talked about again as a no-show. Ronaldo's team, Al Nasr, lost 1-4 in the final of the Saudi Super Cup in 2024-2025 season against Al Hilal at the Frans Sultan bin Abdul Eyes Stadium in Abha, Saudi Arabia on the 18th (Korea time). Al-Nasr, who was absolutely inferior to the Saudi League and the King's Cup winner Al-Hilal last season with one draw and four losses, suffered a defeat from his first face-off this season.
Al-Nasr got off to a good start. Al-Nasr took the lead in the 44th minute with Ronaldo's first goal. Ronaldo finished the cutback given by Abdulrahman Garib with his right foot. Ronaldo's 897th career goal. Now, he has only three goals left until his 900th goal. Ronaldo, who scored one goal and one assist in the Super Cup semi-final against Alta One earlier, scored for the second consecutive game. a good start.
But the second half became a nightmare. Al-Nasr, who allowed Sergei Milinkovic-Savic to equalize in the 10th minute of the second half, then gave Aleksandar Mitrovic a come-from-behind goal eight minutes later. Al Hilal, who gained momentum, sealed the match with Mitrovic's multi-goal in the 24th minute of the second half and Malcolm's score in the 27th minute of the second half.

Ronaldo's loss is prolonging his relationship after moving to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nasr in December 2022, seemed to win all the trophies, but in reality, he only won the Arab Club Championship in June 2023. Even this is not an official competition, but it is not officially recognized as a championship. Ronaldo bowed his head to Al Hilal's wall at every league and cup tournament. Once the runner-up was confirmed again this time. I missed the ceremony. After the game, he left the stadium after heading to the locker room and did not receive a runner-up medal. It's usually a celebration of the winning team, but Ronaldo chose no show. This is why there are criticisms that it is rude.
Ronaldo had thrown his medal into the stands after losing the Riyadh season cup to Al Hilal in February, expressing strong dissatisfaction that he had not been named the best player.
