It was a crucial win for Stefano Pioli's side who are currently six points adrift of league leaders Al-Hilal and five points behind second-placed Al-Ittihad. While Al-Nassr are yet to lose a league game in the 2024-25 campaign, they have been held to a draw on four occasions which has affected their league position. Ronaldo, who has won just one trophy since his much-hyped move to the Middle East in January 2023, will be desperate to bag the league title in the current campaign.
