Cristiano Ronaldo returns after UEFA Euro Qualifiers

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Saudi Arabia to continue working out with Al-Nassr after completing his international duties with the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo had anticipated playing in two matches for Portugal during the break from the competition. He could not participate in the last game against Luxembourg, though, due of his yellow card from the first encounter against Slovakia. Despite this setback, Ronaldo continued to play for the national team; however, he has now made his way back to Al-Nassr.

With six goals and four assists in the first four games for the Saudi Arabian outfit, Ronaldo has had a strong start to the season. The team, on the other hand, has had a rather tough start, with just nine points after five games.

The player had the lowest time of his football career during his second season with Manchester United under Erik ten Hag. Ronaldo and United mutually agreed to terminate the contract in November 2022. The player seemed unhappy with the Dutch coach, who is still struggling with the Red Devils in the Premier League. Ronaldo, on the other hand, seems to enjoy his post-Europe football life.

Ronaldo will take the pitch on Saturday, September 16, in Al-Nassr's matchup against Al-Raed. Ronaldo will have yet another chance to show off his talents and help his team win.
