Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his thoughts following Al Nassr’s exit from the AFC Champions League. The Saudi club faced a disappointing 3-2 loss to Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale in the semi-final, marking another season without a major trophy for the team.
This latest setback adds to a string of challenges for Al Nassr. Earlier in the season, they were eliminated from the King’s Cup. In the Saudi Pro League, their chances of claiming the title look slim as they trail league leaders Al-Ittihad by eight points, with just five matches remaining.
For Ronaldo, now 40 years old, it’s another year in Saudi Arabia without a major title. However, the football legend remains positive and has shown appreciation for the support of fans and the efforts of his teammates.
After the match, Ronaldo took to social media to share a heartfelt message on X (formerly known as Twitter):
“Sometimes the dream has to wait. I’m proud of this team and everything we gave on the pitch. Thank you to all the fans who believed in us and stood by us every step of the way. Your support means the world.”
Ronaldo’s words reflect resilience and gratitude, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and the unwavering loyalty of fans. While the season did not deliver the anticipated trophies, his optimism and commitment shine through as he remains hopeful for brighter days ahead.
