Ronaldo fuels Al-Nassr fans ahead of Neom clash

Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al-Nassr, sparked the crowd ahead of the Neom game.

Al-Nassr host Neom on Saturday evening, in round 25 of the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo posted on Instagram a photo showing his rehabilitation from a muscle injury suffered against Al-Fayha.

He wrote I am recovering now and ready to watch today’s game. Let’s go, Al-Nassr.

The aim is to beat Neom and reclaim the Saudi Pro League lead.

Al-Nassr sit second on 61 points, one behind the leaders Al-Ahli Jeddah, who have played one more match.

Punchline 1: If Ronaldo’s rehab had a soundtrack, it would be a chart-topping comeback tune.

Punchline 2: Neom? More like Neo-sarcasm — Cristiano just decoded the defense.
