"This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all", wrote the Portuguese number 7 after the defeat to Al-Fateh on Monday (26).
Reversal and... FRUSTRATION
Al-Nassr would only play to fulfill the schedule in the last round of the Saudi League.
But returned to the fight before the final round after the Disciplinary Committee of the league penalized Al-Orobah for the irregular lineup of goalkeeper Rafi Al Ruawaili in the 2-1 victory over Al-Nassr in the 23rd round.
The decision resulted in the early relegation of Al-Orobah, which lost the three points and saw them transferred to CR7 & Co.

Al-Nassr needed a win over Al-Fateh and hoped for a slip-up by Al-Hilal against Al-Qadisiya.
Beyond not doing their part, they saw Mitrovic and Milinkovic-Savic secure the 2-0 win over the team of Aubameyang who only thinks about the King's Cup decision against Al-Ittihad.
Al-Ittihad, who was already the champion, closed the Saudi Pro League with 83 points.
The second spot for the Champions League went to Al-Hilal, who was the runner-up with 75.
CR7, Mané, and Bento's team scored 70.
There would be three spots for the Champions League via Saudi Arabia, but one went to Al-Ahli, who won this year's edition and finished the league in fifth place.
Will he stay at Al-Nassr?
Cristiano Ronaldo has a contract only until June 30.

The renewal was already seen as almost certain, but has become a doubt in several newspapers.
The certainty is that Fifa wants to have the star in the Club World Cup.
The president of the entity spoke about a possible negotiation involving the Portuguese star.
Many goals and... a single trophy
Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Al-Nassr in January 2023 after a turbulent passage to Manchester United.
He has 99 goals and 19 assists in 111 games.
He celebrated a single title: the Arab Champions Cup, which has less weight, still in 2023.
He was the top scorer in the last edition of the Saudi League - the first complete one he played - with 35 goals.

And won the same position in 2024/2025, scoring 25 times.
He has 936 goals in his career in his race for the thousandth.

Nets' Nolan Traoré makes late change to jersey number before rookie year
Nolan Traoré is set to make the transition from France to the United States next season with the Brooklyn Nets, and the Frenchman will do so with a new jersey number. Traoré wore No. 2 last season with Saint-Quentin and No. 0 for three seasons with Centre Fédéral de Basket-ball. He also donned No. 30 and No. 0 while representing France, most recently in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers in November. The 19th pick initially chose to wear No. 19 with the Nets, likely as a nod to his draft selection, but he recently decided to change it to No. 88, according to Etienne Catalan on X. He is set to become the first player in franchise history to wear it. Traoré was the Champions League Best Young Player last season after averaging 12.2 points, 4.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds on 41% shooting from the field in 44 appearances. He registered seven 20-point games, including a 25-point effort on May 9. The 19-year-old played three games with the Nets in the NBA Summer League, averaging 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 30.4% shooting from the field. He debuted with 13 points, three rebounds and three assists on July 10. Traoré is among a crowded draft class for the Nets, joining Egor Dёmin (eighth pick), Drake Powell (22nd pick), Ben Saraf (26th pick) and Danny Wolf (27th pick). The Nets became the first team in history to select five players in the first round of the draft. Note: Throughout August, Rookie Wire is looking at every first-round pick and why each player selected their respective jersey number as they make the jump to the NBA. Previous: Cooper Flagg | Dylan Harper | VJ Edgecombe | Kon Knueppel | Ace Bailey | Tre Johnson | Jeremiah Fears | Egor Dёmin | Collin Murray-Boyles | Khaman Maluach | Cedric Coward | Noa Essengue | Derik Queen | Carter Bryant | Thomas Sorber | Yang Hansen | Joan Beringer | Walter Clayton Jr.

Gary Neville claims Premier League rule is 'killing' Newcastle as Alexander Isak saga continues
Newcastle's struggles to compete with the so-called Premier League big six in the transfer market could deny the team a Champions League place next season, Gary Neville believes. The former Manchester United and England defender shared his Premier League predictions for the new campaign alongside fellow pundit Jamie Carragher during Sky Sports' opening 'Monday Night Football' show of the season. The duo forecast how the top five would shape up come May, with Newcastle's prospects under scrutiny. The Magpies are struggling to bring in players and keep hold of their talisman, Alexander Isak, who reportedly wants to join Liverpool this month. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news as cult hero 'accelerates' exit after new signings READ MORE: 'I won trophies at Liverpool - but now my sons play for Manchester City' Neville believes financial constraints from the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) that Newcastle and Aston Villa have encountered mean they remain a level below some of the more established clubs, which could affect the upcoming campaign. Eddie Howe endured frustration after failing to secure key transfer targets including Bryan Mbeumo, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Hugo Ekitike, and Benjamin Sesko throughout recent months, though he has been pleased to secure Anthony Elanga, Aaron Ramsdale, Malick Thiaw, and Jacob Ramsey. The Magpies remain in pursuit of at least one, possibly two, forwards before September 1 and the transfer deadline. "Newcastle and Villa, I really liked last season," Neville said. "I just feel the PSR is killing them a bit in terms of being able to invest freely," he said. "I think they will have a good season. I think they'll do OK. I don't think they'll have that spark to get into fifth and into the Champions League and into fourth. "I think Manchester United are the one team that can break into that group, more than Newcastle, Spurs, and Villa, because they haven't got European football. I do think it will be a big advantage to Manchester United." Newcastle will benefit its PSR position if it sells Isak to Liverpool for a British record transfer fee this summer. Yet the Magpies would prefer to keep hold of Isak and continue to bring in world-class talent in pursuit of a first top-flight league title since 1927. Liverpool icon Carragher felt the one advantage Newcastle may have could come if the team exits the Champions League after the group stage. Newcastle will play eight games in the competition this season, with only the top 16 making the knock-out stages. "You don't drop into the Europa League anymore if you don't make the cut in the Champions League," he said. "I'm not sure Newcastle and Spurs will have too much European football after Christmas."
