Ronaldo still hopes to lead his side to the league title this season.
Al-Nassr, who are third, will play league leaders Al-Ittihad at Al-Awwal Park tonight in the Saudi Pro League. The team’s goal is to resurrect their waning title aspirations in the gameweek 30 matchup.
With five games left, there are eight points separating the two teams in the league rankings. It highlights the necessity for Al-Alami to get as many points as possible in order to cast doubt on the team at the top of the table in the closing stages.
Al-Nassr will return to action after losing to Kawasaki Frontale in the AFC Champions League, hoping to recover from their 3-2 loss to the eventual runners-up from Japan on April 30.

Stefano Pioli’s team, who start the midweek match eight points behind the favourites to win the league this season, will be greatly motivated to face the Saudi Pro League leaders.
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of tonight’s match because a loss would eliminate Al-Alami’s dwindling title hopes. A draw would keep things as they are. The match highlights the necessity of earning as many points as possible.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo could once again see in the near future another season going trophy-less if they lost to Al Ittihad tonight. Speaking of the Portuguese star, will he be motivated to lead his side into this fixture?
Will Ronaldo play tonight?
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo will be in the lineup to play tonight. Now that they once again failed to win the AFC Champions League Elite, Ronaldo will still have some optimism that they can win the league despite being eight points behind Al Ittihad.
Despite the club’s poor season, Ronaldo has maintained his goalscoring form, netting 23 goals in 27 matches in the league. Tonight, he should be ready to find the back of the net again.
He will hope that his goals help his side secure a much-needed win to open the title race. A victory will see Al Nassr cut the gap to five points.
