Cristiano Ronaldo sends out ominous message ahead of Al-Nassr's crucial King Cup of Champions semi-final clash with Al-Khaleej

The Portuguese talisman drew a blank after he returned from suspension in the Saudi Pro League game against Al-Khaleej but Aymeric Laporte's winner in the 67th minute saved his blushes. However, Ronaldo gets another opportunity to put the same opponents to the sword on Wednesday evening in a titanic cup clash at the Al-Awwal Stadium.

The Saudi Pro League is almost done and dusted as Al-Hilal find themselves 11 points ahead of Al-Nassr with just five games remaining. However, the King Cup of Champions presents another chance for Ronaldo to win his second trophy with the Knights of Najd, after bagging the Arab Club Champions Cup in August 2023. Hence, Ronaldo is in no mood to pass up this opportunity.

Ronaldo put out a carousel of training pictures on his Instagram and wrote: "Ready 👌".

Ronaldo will potentially clash with Al-Hilal in the final of the King Cup of Champions after Jorge Jesus' troops beat Al-Ittihad in the first semi-final. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has a notorious history with Al-Hilal fans and will be eager to silence them by getting his hands on the trophy.
