February 6,2026 Ronaldo missed the second game in a row for Al- Nasser. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was not in the squad when Al-Nassr faced defending champion Al-Ittihad. He also missed the 1-0 win over Al-Riyadh on Monday. Ronaldo being the super star he is in questionable why he has not been at his games.
Ronaldo was unhappy with how Al-Nassr was being managed by the country’s Public Investment Fund, Portuguese outlet A Bola reported this week. Ronaldo was said to be upset with the club’s lack of action in the January transfer window while watching rival Al-Hilal sign Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema, a former Real Madrid teammate. This may be the reason for his disappearance.
“The Saudi Pro League is structured around a simple principle: Every club operates independently under the same rules,” the league said. “Clubs have their own boards, executives and football leadership. Decisions on recruitment, spending and strategy rest with those clubs, within a financial framework designed to ensure sustainability and competitive balance. That framework applies equally across the league.”
