  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ronaldo was, however, at his talismanic best once again when bagging a brace in a 3-1 King Cup semi-final win over Al-Khaleej. That success has lined up another meeting with Al-Hilal when major honours will be up for grabs.

  • WHAT RONALDO SAID

    Ronaldo has won just one trophy, the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023, since making a stunning move to the Middle East. He has a chance to add to his medal collection in 2024 and has posted on social media: “King's Cup final! Let's GO!”

  • WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO?

    Al-Nassr will be looking to Ronaldo for inspiration once again when facing Al-Hilal. They have seen the evergreen 39-year-old maintain remarkable standards this season, with his double against Al-Khaleej taking him to 44 goals across 45 appearances in all competitions.
