Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

There’s a huge difference between Messi and Ronaldo in how they ended their careers with their national teams. Messi retired leaving a good and positive legacy with the Argentine FA and his teammates, getting to play his last match with the national team. Meanwhile, Ronaldo retired full of drama here and there, didn’t get a farewell match with his teammates or the national team (relationship wasn’t good). Truly unfortunate. 

I thought Ronaldo would have a final match with Portugal, but oh well, Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro, thank you so much for all your journey and the history you made. It seems like this is also his last season at Al Nassr, finishing the season as champions and scoring 1000 goals before retiring. Al Nassr chance to defend the SPL title this season is still very open, even though they are currently in third place, the point difference from Al Hilal is only two points.

It was a hasty decision by Cristiano Ronaldo because I was thinking that he will return to the national team after his suspension has elapse, only to hear the news of his retirement today. You are right that Messi was honoured by Argentina but that doesn't mean that Ronaldo won't be honoured by Portugal too except he declines which I think it won't be good of him. Ronaldo has achieved a lot for Portugal so they should make sure they honour him properly irrespective of their differences. Ronaldo made the Portuguese national team proud because it is not easy to produce a player with extraordinary talents like Ronaldo. He will be missed by the national team because they will surely feel his absence and his motivation in the squad. He should retire from football entirely as soon as he reaches 1000 goals.

I thought there would at least be a farewell match. But, well, I understand if Cristiano Ronaldo ends up turning down the offer for a farewell match, given what’s happened recently. I’ve been following every news update about Cristiano Ronaldo, so I can somewhat understand his feelings. But personally, I hope a legend as great as Cristiano Ronaldo is truly honored on a much grander scale, not just with a farewell match, but long before that. Now, the number 7 jersey will no longer be an issue for other Portuguese players to wear.

Al-Nassr will likely be very fortunate, as it’s possible that Cristiano Ronaldo’s retirement farewell match will take place at Al-Nassr. That way, the club will go down in history and be remembered by many people.

And I even thought that video had been in the works for a long time. I don’t know if my guess is correct or not. But at first, I thought Cristiano Ronaldo would retire from the Portuguese national team after the World Cup. And when I connected that to Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent apology letter regarding his departure from the national team, I began to understand something. So he wasn’t in a hurry. 

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes, you are right because the offside trap is the only effective way to stop Ronaldo. Even for an experienced player like Ronaldo, it is very difficult to understand this strategy of the opponent and change his position repeatedly. Because his valuable goal opportunities are being wasted due to repeated offsides. The dream of reaching the 1000 goal milestone may be motivating him to score more goals in each match. Ronaldo should be a little more careful and use his experience to avoid the offside trap. If Ronaldo can play in the right position and get regular support from his teammates, his chances of scoring goals will increase. We all want him to achieve his 1000 goal dream.

Rival teams will try to avoid getting thrashed, regardless of whether it's CR7 playing. They'll try to stop him from scoring, and if the weakness is offside, CR7 has to do everything possible to avoid falling into that trap. He knows how to do it; he's very good, he has the talent and everything, he runs and performs despite the criticism he receives.

Al-Nassr is a lucky team, as they're about to reach the milestone of 1,000 goals. They're scoring fewer goals each time, and I really see this league as being all about CR7. And although they have a good level of football, the league has gained more popularity because of CR7. That's how I see it.

Yes, the situation was certainly taken in a quick and poorly calculated manner, it almost seems like something done instinctively and out of spite, i believe that Cristiano Ronaldo in his heart would never have wanted to leave the national team, such an important player would never want to take this step, but to a certain extent he certainly did well given the conditions he was subjected to.

I can't accept how Portugal could do this to him. I think he could not perform well for the team at the end of his career, so I can't accept the departure of such a legendary player like this. Look at Lionel Messi, how Argentina sent him off in a royal way, similarly, even though Neymar announced his retirement at the end of the World Cup, the CBF later decided to send him off with a welcome match. But the person who has performed his best for the team alone and introduced Portugal to the world court, the Portugal team did not send him off properly. I think it is unfair to Ronaldo. Ronaldo may have announced his retirement, but there is still time for Portugal to send him off honorably by organizing at least one match from their country.

If Ronaldo had made such a decision before the controversy, he would have been given a respectful farewell like Messi. There is still a possibility that the Portugal national team will organize a match for him and give him a respectful farewell.

The reason why the distance between Ronaldo and the national team has increased is because of his performance. Just like Messi announced his retirement while still in form or being an important player in the team. Ronaldo should have done the same. Due to his poor performance in the World Cup and the poor performance in the UEFA Nations League, the Portugal coach was forced to bench him, which increased the distance between the two. So I don't think the situation of Messi and Ronaldo is the same. Still, I expect the last match of this legend

[Youngrebel]

Am a fan of Ronaldo and I feel his legacy should not be judged just based on how well he performs towards the end of his career, check out and review Ronaldo has dominated and given out his best to Portugal for years now, and he has won so major trophies and has done a lot I mean that nigga is a legend, and even if his of aged and can no longer perform to dominate at the level they he used to be before that shouldn’t change everything he has achieved over the years. And also Messi and Ronaldo are 3 different people and have different personalities and different tactics in their careers and both can never be same in their ways of playing. 

[HyperCodexV]

One thing that is baffling me with this retirement from national team that Ronaldo announced is that, some very brainless Messi fans don't know when to banter and when to show respect and keep their mouth shut. I understand that you don't like Ronaldo for reasons best know to you but common a man announced his forever departure from playing for his national team, a team he has made lots of sacrifices for and the next thing that comes to you shallow mind is the mock him on it. Sometimes you draw the line between fun and common sense.

You're right, I dislike those who criticise Ronaldo for his poor performance. One thing people should understand is that Ronaldo has come to an age where he's feat enough to performance the way he used to, as long as football still exists Ronaldo is a legend when it comes to football, he has achieved what so many players won't achieved till they retired. Ronaldo, Ronaldo has won all the the trophies making a history. He's meant to retire be now but he made a promise to himself that he must complete 1000 goals career before he'll retired. And for those of his national team mates who criticise him for his poor performance i believed noon of them will achieved what Ronaldo has achieved in his life.

Do you know that the very day he apologized to the team and Portugal, I was shocked that he did that. I didn't expect him to apologize to the team and I was having own kind feelings that a person like him with his arrogance will not do that until I saw his videos and write up about his retirement and I knew there was more to what he wanted to do. He just wanted to silence everyone so that people will not talk about him again and he just gave them this unexpected.

I have so much respect for his craft, he has done a lot for Portugal but let's call a spade a space. With his accomplishment, there are things that should be left behind especially as he is growing older but this guy think the world revolves around him. I don't blame him though, it's the people that gives him the voice that is why he has this altitude, I'm never his fan and will not be his fan, I hope to see him retire from club too, no need wait for Messi.

[Adbitco]

A PSG bench warmer and reject, someone that couldn't break into the the first team and PSG is a team without a proper striker, if he was good who isn't he playing for PSG? At AC Milan currently his still a flop, a striker who has only scored 3 goals in 13 matches with him hitting Zero shot on target in his last 3 matches consecutively. 'if anyone deserves to start for the national team, it's me'. That's him up there, few good matches and his already thinking his the perfect replacement for the national team, I love how it's playing out now because his going to be the starter of the team, I want to see what his contributions will be for the team from now on till when he will retire as a player from the national team. It's not just him but majority of them were eager to see him.lesve and I'm glad his no longer going to play with them, let them win all available trophies that's a prove he was the one holding them back, lol.

I'm also a fan but when we say this people will think we are being sentimental but that's just the way it should be. Not just Ronaldo, no player's legacy should be judged based on his performance towards the end of his career. The disrespect Ronaldo gets despite giving all his best for his country is surprising, maybe he overstayed his welcome but it still not a reason enough to treat such player like that. He had a target and it was obvious he can't play more than a season so the best the national team could do was to help him and achieve his goal so he can retire early.
With or without Portugal Ronaldo will forever be a legend and nothing can change that.

The problem is that CR7 is no longer young, and he doesn't have the explosive sprint he used to have in the past. Either that, or the midfielders are failing to pass the ball into the correct positions at the right time, which is why he keeps getting caught offside.

Al-Nassr is a lucky team, as they're about to reach the milestone of 1,000 goals. They're scoring fewer goals each time, and I really see this league as being all about CR7. And although they have a good level of football, the league has gained more popularity because of CR7. That's how I see it.

There is no doubt that the entire league is known to the outside world because of CR7. If not for his signing, I would have never watched the league. There are many leagues around the world and you cannot watch all of those matches, but CR7 literally brought viewers from outside GCC countries to this league.

There was absolutely nothing hasty about Ronaldo's decision to retire from the national team, He is human and every human being has a breaking point and limit to the kind of disrespect they endure from people are supposed to be their comfort zone. It is clear Ronaldo doesn't have the legs and elite danger he once had on the pitch but the Portuguese national team were supposed to manage him and make him feel wanted but they all ganged up against him in order to ridicule him and make him feel like the problem in the team, which is a painful betrayal. So he did the right thing by leaving a place where he was no longer welcom.

If you stay longer in a place where you are less useful, it brings one down, to a level of disrespect. The signs were there for Ronaldo to notice and immediately leave the Portugal team, he saw but decided to overlook the signs. Ronaldo didn't have the best relationship with some of his team mates, and sinces his contributions in matches went down low, nothing as cool as the Ronaldo we watched years ago, he should have called his retirement earlier, all the dramas would have been avoided with a good farewell as he leaves.

He knew some day it will come to it, there is nothing he can possibly do better than the young players as of his age, he made everything hard for himself.

If you say that Ronaldo's legacy shouldn't be made reference to using the ending part of his career then I will ask you why didn't he retire at the peak of his career so that all we could have been seeing were those classic performances by him. A player's career runs from his youthful age till he is old so I don't know why you want us to exclude his last days in football. I don't even see many bad performances from him because the times he performed better conquer all. Of course, Messi and Ronaldo gave their individual performances and they both attracted a lot of fans that support them individually and that's fine because everybody cannot love and admire both players at the same time because we all have our favourites who we feel his performance and achievements superseded that of the other person.

That's what happens when a fan is physically mature but not mentally mature, I'm a fan of Cristiano, but I still have respect for Lionel Messi. Football should be filled with fans who use their brains & hearts first, rather than using their fingers to spew hate speech.

Well, let’s just skip those people & get back to focusing on Cristiano & the SPL.

I noticed that all the matches for matchday #13 have been postponed. I haven't looked into the details, does anyone here happen to know the reason why?

Fans always play a fundamental role in making a player grow, and Messi and Ronaldo had an incredible fan base, so this is why i say that these two players are the best around, because those who support a lot means that they are recognized at a high level, which is why i like them.

there is no doubt that cr7 is no longer the same as he was in the past, we all know that things have gotten worse as the years have passed, as it should be, everyone gets old sooner or later and this is his turn, but in any case it is incredible that despite his age this player is still at the top and still performs very well and still scores so many goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world, his popularity is not because he is a true and high-quality player, he has made his country known to the whole world. Not only that, he has created a goal record, this is the best, you see, he is the best in all aspects. Messi of Lyon, he was a world-class player, a legend. It is very difficult to achieve fame in the current position, but almost everyone knows them all over the world. Everyone is impressed by their style of play and aggressive attitude, that is why their popularity is so high, I also support them
