Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message of pride to his Al-Nassr team-mates after they secured a place in the AFC Champions League Two final. Kingsley Coman was the hero with a hat-trick as the Saudi side dismantled Al Ahli 5-1.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been told he's "finished" by furious Al-Nassr supporters after a shocking miss from barely three yards out in his latest outing for the Saudi Pro League giants.

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 969th career goal as Al-Nassr secured a dominant 4-0 victory over Al-Wasl.
