😳 'This chapter is over', posts CR7 after Al-Nassr disappointment
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. At 40 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo has left doubts about his stay at Al-Nassr after his current team was effectively eliminated from the next Asian Champions League. "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). This chapter is story? Still being to all. — Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) May 26, 2025 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. 📸 Yasser Bakhsh - 2025 Getty Images

Playing away, they defeated Elversberg 2-1 this Monday (26), in the second leg of the playoff - after a 2-2 draw in the first leg. This achievement came with the decisive contribution of Brazilian Leo Scienza, who scored the winning goal at 95'. He finished the playoff with THREE assists and one goal, participating in ALL four of Heidenheim's goals. The match was necessary because, according to the championship regulations, the 16th place team in the Bundesliga (Heidenheim) plays against the 3rd place team in the (Elversberg) to determine who stays in the elite of German football and who plays in the second division. Honsak took advantage of Scienza's assist and opened the scoring for Heidenheim, nine minutes into the game. However, still in the first half, Fellhauer (31') equalized, after an assist from Zimmerschield. Tension was high in the final minutes. And extra time was looming. Then talent decided. Paul Wanner - who is expected to return to Bayern - set up Scienza. He got past Le Joncour and shot with no chance for Kristof. Reinforcing his decisive power in the playoff.
