Ronaldo's Saudi Comeback: Fateh Drops a Bab Al-Hara Moment for a Return Tease
9 February 2026
"... where were you and how did you return?"
Al-Fateh Saudi Club stepped into the spotlight as Ronaldo's crisis with Al-Nassr reached a resolution in its own signature style.
A Bola, the Portuguese newspaper, confirmed Ronaldo's crisis was over and his match absence ended after reaching an agreement with Al-Nassr that satisfied most of his current demands, including settling dues and salaries for all staff.
Ronaldo is expected to return to Al-Nassr's matches in the upcoming clash with Al-Fateh on Saturday, in the Saudi Pro League.
Following that, Fateh posted a TikTok video about Ronaldo's return, invoking a scene from the famous Syrian series Bab Al-Hara to question why he was absent and how he came back.
A portion of Al-Nassr fans reacted positively to the video, praising Fateh's official accounts.
Ronaldo had missed Al-Nassr's two recent wins, 1-0 at Riyadh and 2-0 against Al-Ittihad, amid his protest over winter signings, particularly the arrival of Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad.
Punchline: If a TikTok can fix a transfer saga, maybe my calendar can finally stop ghosting me.
Punchline 2: Ronaldo's back; my motivation to exercise is still on backorder, but at least the memes are in premium.
