Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr faces Al-Khaleej in Matchday 33 of the Saudi Pro League. The game will take place on Wednesday, May 21, at Al-Awwal Park Stadium. Stefano Pioli’s team, no longer in contention for the league title, is looking to make the most of their final games. It will be a key test for the home side, who need to keep their positive momentum and finish the season strong.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo did not feature in the last match against Al-Tawwon, he’s expected to return to the pitch for one of his final appearances of the season. The Portuguese star currently leads the league in scoring with 23 goals, and will likely look to add to his tally in this match.
Will Cristiano Ronaldo play against Al-Khaleej?
While his participation hasn’t been officially confirmed, all signs point to Ronaldo starting on Wednesday. It will ultimately depend on his physical condition and the technical staff’s decision. However, his future at the club remains uncertain, especially amid rumors linking him to a spot in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
