The Portuguese superstar aimed to add another trophy to his collection in the King’s Cup of Champions final. The match against Al-Hilal extended to 120 minutes, ending in a 1-1 draw, leading to a tense penalty shootout to determine the winner.
Ronaldo successfully converted his penalty, but teammates Ali Alhassan and Meshari Al-Nemer missed their shots, resulting in a heartbreaking 5-4 loss for Al-Nassr. Unable to hide his disappointment, Ronaldo was seen crying in the dugout after the intense match.
Ronaldo’s family, including Georgina and their children, shared in his anguish as they attended the game, wearing replica shirts and cheering for Al-Nassr. Despite their support, the victory was not to be. Georgina later expressed her sentiments on Instagram: “A penalty away from winning the King’s Cup. Congratulations @alnassr for the match.”
Though Ronaldo’s domestic season ended on a disappointing note, despite scoring 50 goals across all competitions, he now shifts his focus to international duties at Euro 2024. He will also return to Al-Nassr next season, with 12 months remaining on his record-breaking contract.
