Joao Felix makes bold Saudi Pro League title claim after 'we want more' message from Cristiano Ronaldo - with Al-Nassr being billed as an 'amazing' team

Al-Nassr have picked up nine points from three games, registering 12 goals in the process. Five of those were recorded in a convincing victory over Al-Riyadh last time out. Felix and Ronaldo bagged a brace apiece as Jorge Jesus’ side made light work of derby rivals.

Ex-Atletico Madrid and Chelsea forward Felix was named Player of the Match for the second time this term, with the 25-year-old saying of his flying start to life in the Middle East: "My team-mates make the things look easier. As a team we are amazing and then individually we have a lot of good players. And, if we keep doing well as individuals, the team will go well as well. And if we are all together, we’re going to win game after game, and we will be closer to the title."

Felix, who has five goals after netting a hat-trick on his Saudi Pro League debut, went on to say of Al-Nassr putting down an early marker to their rivals: "We are doing a good job; game after game we are getting better. Today we did a great match. Unfortunately, we concede one goal; we don’t like to concede, we like to keep the clean sheet. But, in general, we were very good."

Ronaldo, who continues to chase down 1,000 career goals, believes that there is more to come from Al-Nassr. He has won just one trophy since moving to Riyadh in 2023, but posted on social media after putting in another eye-catching performance: "3 wins in 3 games. We want more!"

Al-Nassr will be back in action on Friday when heading to Jeddah for a crunch clash with reigning champions Al-Ittihad. They will need Ronaldo and Felix to be firing on all cylinders again in that contest.
