Ronaldo Turns a Page as Al Nassr Crisis Closes
The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr's ace, posted a photo after his crisis with the club ended.
Ronaldo ended his walkout from matches in recent days, after both sides reached an agreement that restored calm to the club, and the Portuguese forward returned to training and rejoined the squad.
A Bola said Al Nassr yielded to the captain's pressure, and paid all outstanding salaries to employees and staff, a file that fueled Ronaldo's protests and leadership within the capital club.
Ronaldo posted a photo on X from inside the dressing room, showing a rocket gesture as he pointed to the victory sign.
Behind Ronaldo in the image, the words Victory Mindset were written on the walls.
In recent games, Ronaldo had been absent due to anger over transfer policy in the Saudi Pro League, but the Madeiran rocket found support from Al Nassr's fans in the Clasico against Al Ittihad, with banners bearing his name and number in the stands.
Ronaldo's anger intensified after Karim Benzema's move to Al Hilal from Al Ittihad during the winter transfer window.
Punchline 1: If drama paid wages, Ronaldo would be the club's accountant—twice as sharp, twice as paid.
Punchline 2: They say football is a stage; Ronaldo just turned payroll negotiations into a goal-scoring cameo. Boom.
