'We'll come back stronger': Ronaldo opens up on Al Nassr loss

The highly anticipated clash took place at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, where Ronaldo faced his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema.

The match lived up to its billing as a battle of stars. Benzema opened the scoring for Al-Ittihad in the first half, showcasing his clinical finishing. Ronaldo levelled the game shortly after with a trademark strike, but it was Steven Bergwijn who sealed the win for the hosts with a decisive goal in the second period.

Despite the loss, Ronaldo struck an optimistic tone in his post-match comments, stating, "We will come back stronger than ever," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

His words reflect the resilience Al Nassr will need as they aim to keep pace in the title race. The defeat leaves Al Nassr with work to do, as Al Ittihad continue to mount pressure in the league standings.
