Jorge Jesus playfully teased Cristiano Ronaldo by pointing out that the Portuguese star has yet to win a major trophy in Saudi Arabia. Despite his illustrious career, which includes numerous league titles, Champions League victories, and individual accolades, Ronaldo has not achieved success in Saudi since joining Al-Nassr in 2023.
In contrast, Jesus, who secured the Pro League title with Al-Hilal in 2023, has fared better in the region. Even though Ronaldo has only won the Arab Club Champions Cup, Jesus still admires him greatly for his contributions to the sport.
Jesus acknowledged that managing Ronaldo is unlikely at this stage of their careers, but couldn’t resist joking about Ronaldo’s lack of success in Saudi Arabia. Despite their friendly banter, Jesus praised Ronaldo for his remarkable fitness and achievements, noting that the only thing missing from his impressive resume is a World Cup triumph with the national team.
As Al-Nassr prepares to face Al-Ahli on Thursday, Ronaldo’s quest for Saudi silverware continues. Regardless of his success in the region, Ronaldo’s impact on Portuguese football and beyond is undeniable, making him a source of pride for his country.
