Cristiano Ronaldo’s Knights of Najd are in a prime position to take the league leaders’ spot tonight.
Tonight, Al Nassr will face Neom SC for their matchday 25 game in the Saudi Pro League. This match will be their fourth league outing since their 1-0 triumph in the second leg AFC Champions League Two Round of 16 match against FK Arkadag. Post that they have already scored 12 goals in three league games.
Additionally, they have shown great determination in stopping attacks from the opposition sides as well. In those outings, they conceded just a single goal, which came against Al Fayha. That match was the recent one, where the Knights of Najd rejoiced with three points after a 3-1 away victory.
Looking at the Saudi Pro League points table, we see them a point off current league leaders Al Ahli Saudi. But things are still much sweeter than they seem, as they have a game in hand over their counterparts. Al Nassr have played 24 times, winning 20, and losing just three league games.
Boasting 61 points currently, the team from Riyadh feels this could be their season. Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo would definitely want to feel the Saudi Pro League trophy in his hands. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is yet to unlock this achievement since his arrival in January 2023.
Talking about Cristiano, fans would want to know whether he will show up tonight at AL-AWWAL PARK Stadium.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play tonight against Neom SC?
Well, who doesn’t want Cristiano Ronaldo leading their team even though he may have turned 41? But unfortunately, the 21 league goal scorer won’t be featuring tonight.
Why? He sustained a hamstring injury, and it is something more towards the cautious end. The club officially released info regarding this, and he may have already begun his recovery work.
Al Nassr fans shouldn’t worry much, though. They still have power in their attack. The likes of Joao Felix and Sadio Mane, among others, should keep things going in the background until CR7 is back.
However, Jorge Jesus would surely want his talismanic striker back, given it’s the business end of the league season.
