Did Ronaldo regret boycotting the matches? Tony scored five goals including a hat-trick to lead the top scorers, while Al-Nassr overtook Al-Nassr to rise to second place.

Due to his boycott, Ronaldo has fallen behind by five goals to former Premier League bronze boot winner Tony on the Saudi Pro League scoring list. Ronaldo’s challenge to win the league is tough, and now his bid for the Golden Boot is also in jeopardy...

In the most recent Saudi Pro League match, Al-Nassr secured a 4-1 away victory over Najma Sports, with Tony scoring a hat-trick. This pushed Tony five goals ahead of Ronaldo, who was tied for second place, giving him a clear lead atop the scoring chart. Among Ivan’s 23 Saudi Pro League goals, 8 were penalties, while Ronaldo’s 18 goals include 4 penalties.

Not only has Ronaldo fallen behind Tony in goals, but with Al-Nassr’s earlier win securing three points, they have surpassed Ronaldo’s team Al-Nassr by one point in the league standings, climbing to second place and matching the leader Al-Hilal on points. This season, Ronaldo’s title rivals are not just fierce opponents Al-Hilal but also last season’s AFC Champions League winners Al-Nassr. Last season, Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr only qualified for the AFC Champions League second tier due to opponents’ point deductions and didn’t even participate in the Champions League. If Ronaldo fails again to lead Al-Nassr to the Saudi Pro League title this season, then signing Ronaldo would only have boosted the club’s profile rather than their pursuit of honors. So far, Ronaldo’s time in Saudi Arabia remains trophyless, which is somewhat embarrassing!
