Ronaldo’s Saudi Clasico Comeback: Will He Star Against Al-Ittihad?

Ronaldo to Feature in Saudi Clasico

Saudi sports broadcaster Khaled Al-Shaineh has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al-Nassr, will take the field for the upcoming Clasico against city rivals Al-Ittihad.

The match is scheduled to be hosted at Al-Awwal Park on Friday, in the 21st round of the Roshen Saudi Pro League, with both teams chasing a crucial win.

Ronaldo missed the previous league game, a 1-0 victory over Al-Riyadh, but sources say he is available and ready for the derby.

Rumors had swirled after Benzema's move from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal that Ronaldo's club would feel pressure from rivals. Still, the pundit insists Ronaldo will be present as usual.

In the past hours, questions about Ronaldo's participation circulated, but the analyst confirmed he will play, allowing fans to anticipate a high-octane clash.

On the pitch, all eyes will be on Ronaldo as he links up with his teammates to renew the rivalry that electrifies Riyadh.

Punchlines

Sniper joke 1: Ronaldo's aim is so precise that when he shoots, even the net signs a participation form.

Sniper joke 2: If the defense tries a wall, Ronaldo simply goes through it, and the scoreboard files for a selfie with the scorer.
