"Let's make it count...": Ronaldo ahead of Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League title clash with Al-Hilal

Cristiano Ronaldo aims for his first Saudi Pro League trophy as Al-Nassr faces Al-Hilal in a title decider. He appeals to fans: "Let's make it count."

"Let's make it count. For us. For you. For Nassr. See you tomorrow. - Cristiano Ronaldo"

New Delhi, May 12

Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo is eyeing his first Saudi Pro League trophy as his side Al-Nassr is set to face Al-Hilal in the title clash at the Alawwal Park in Riyadh on Tuesday.

Ahead of the much-anticipated fixture, Ronaldo shared a post on his Instagram, appealing to fans to support his side in the final and wrote, "Your support has pushed us every single week. In the stadium, at home and everywhere around the world. That energy is with us on the pitch. Let's make it count. For us. For you. For Nassr. See you tomorrow."

Last week, the Portuguese superstar achieved a major milestone in his illustrious career by completing 100 goals in the Saudi Pro League during Al-Nassr's 4-2 victory over Al-Shabab.

He achieved the landmark after scoring in the second half of the high-scoring clash, further cementing his impact since joining Al-Nassr in 2022.

The 41-year-old legend has scored 971 goals in his illustrious career, and the goal against Al-Shabab was Ronaldo's 26th league goal of the season. The legendary footballer has 127 goals across all competitions for Al-Nassr.

Al-Nassr sit at the top of the Saudi Pro League with 82 points from 32 matches, five clear of Al-Hilal. One more win seals the title, and Ronaldo's side has the chance to finish it off against their fiercest rivals.

Since arriving, Ronaldo has been the league's defining face. He's shattered scoring records, filled stadiums, and drawn unprecedented global attention to Saudi football. Yet the domestic league trophy has remained the one missing piece in his Middle Eastern run.

Despite breaking individual milestones since his landmark move, the championship has stayed elusive. Leading from the front, Ronaldo has aged like fine wine, driving Al-Nassr's push and making sure they dictate the title race.

A win here would do more than secure silverware. It would validate his relentless drive, silence critics who called the move an exhibition, and cement his legacy as a champion in the Middle East.

Honestly, his mindset is incredible. 100 goals in Saudi Pro League and still hungry for more. He's truly aged like fine wine. And to think some people said his move to Saudi was just for money - look at him now, fighting for titles!

We Indians love our cricket but football is growing fast. Ronaldo bringing global attention to Saudi league is great for Asian football overall. But I have one respectful criticism - the article says he completed 100 goals "during Al-Nassr's 4-2 victory." That should be "in" instead of "during." Otherwise, brilliant coverage! 😊

Cristiano's hunger is unmatched. I remember when he joined Manchester United as a kid with that step-over move. Now at 41, he's still chasing titles. "Let's make it count" - love that attitude. Hope Al-Hilal gives them a tough fight though!

Ronaldo's social media game is always on point. Look at that passion! But I think we should also appreciate the Saudi Pro League's growth - it's not just about one player. The whole league is improving with foreign stars joining. That's what true development looks like.

Missing Messi vs Ronaldo debates in La Liga... but seeing CR7 still dominating at 41 is pure inspiration. Indian football fans take note - this is what dedication looks like. We need this mentality in our own league and national team! Vamos! 🔥
