Cristiano Ronaldo dismisses the AFC Champions League second tier, starts but fails to score, misses a one-on-one chance and receives the lowest rating, teammates help advance to the final.

At 00:00 Beijing time on April 23, in the AFC Champions League second tier semifinal, Al-Nassr hosted Al-Duhail. Coman scored a hat-trick, Angelo contributed with one goal and three assists for four total involvements. Al-Nassr defeated Al-Duhail 5-1, smoothly advancing to the AFC Champions League second tier final, where they will compete against Osaka Gamba for the championship on May 16.

This match featured a vast gap in capability. Al-Nassr's starting lineup was valued at 1.2 billion euros, while Al-Duhail's starters were worth only 17.25 million euros. Despite such a悬殊 disparity, Ronaldo, who had previously dismissed the AFC Champions League second tier, performed disastrously. In this game, Ronaldo started and played for 78 minutes, repeatedly missing excellent opportunities and even losing a one-on-one chance by overrunning the ball, highlighting his poor footwork and frequent clumsiness. Post-match, Ronaldo received a rating of 6.2, the lowest among Al-Nassr's 11 starters. Meanwhile, hat-trick scorer Coman and Angelo, with one goal and three assists, both earned perfect 10 ratings.

Ronaldo's current experience at Al-Nassr is truly a mix of extremes, as evidenced by this AFC Champions League second tier semifinal. In Al-Nassr matches where Ronaldo fails to score, the Portuguese superstar typically ends up with the lowest rating among the starting 11, lacking presence. This indicates that beyond shooting and participating in attacks, Ronaldo offers no substantial contribution to the team. Such a playing style is indeed struggling, requiring the entire team to assist him with opportunities, making it difficult to unleash the squad's true potential.
