Liga Pro Saudi secara resmi telah mengumumkan lima nama yang masuk dalam daftar nominasi untuk penghargaan bergengsi Pemain Terbaik Musim 2025-26. Di tengah persaingan perebutan gelar yang dramatis antara Al Nassr dan Al Hilal yang mencapai puncaknya pada hari terakhir, Cristiano Ronaldo dan Ivan Toney memimpin daftar nominasi bersama Joao Felix, Julian Quinones, dan Ruben Neves di musim yang sangat kompetitif ini.
Cristiano Ronaldo tak mampu menyembunyikan kemarahannya pada Sabtu malam saat ia secara mengejutkan menolak menghadiri upacara penyerahan trofi pasca-pertandingan usai kekalahan Al-Nassr di final Liga Champions AFC. Bintang asal Portugal itu langsung menuju pintu keluar sementara rekan-rekan setimnya tetap berada di lapangan untuk menerima penghargaan sebagai runner-up dan mengambil medali peringkat kedua.
Pelatih kepala Barcelona, Hansi Flick, memberikan pujian yang sangat tinggi kepada Robert Lewandowski setelah striker senior tersebut secara resmi mengonfirmasi bahwa ia akan meninggalkan klub pada musim panas ini. Pemain internasional Polandia itu akan mengakhiri masa empat tahunnya yang dipenuhi gelar di Catalonia setelah musim ini berakhir.
Semangat tak kenal lelah Cristiano Ronaldo untuk menjadi yang terbaik memang sudah menjadi legenda, namun kini terungkap detail-detail baru yang memperlihatkan betapa ekstremnya dedikasinya selama membela Real Madrid. Sementara kebanyakan pemain akan menghabiskan malam dengan berpesta setelah dinobatkan sebagai yang terbaik di dunia, sang bintang asal Portugal itu justru memiliki cara yang sangat berbeda dalam menghadapi kesuksesannya.
Cristiano Ronaldo dan Lionel Messi akan menjadi “pasangan yang sangat serasi” dalam satu tim, kata Rene Meulensteen kepada GOAL, dengan CR7 dikabarkan akan pindah ke juara MLS Cup, Inter Miami, jika ia berhasil meraih gelar Liga Pro Arab Saudi bersama Al-Nassr. Legenda sepak bola Portugal ini semakin mendekati gelar juara lainnya di Timur Tengah, yang mungkin membuatnya mempertimbangkan opsi-opsi karier di tempat lain.
