According to the statistics website SofaScore, Cristiano Ronaldo was only rated 6.2 points in the semi-final match held in the early morning of April 23 (Vietnam time). This is the lowest score in the Al-Nassr squad, reflecting the rather lackluster performance of the Portuguese superstar.
In this match, Al-Nassr soon encountered a disadvantage when they were led by the opponent from the 10th minute. However, the Saudi Arabian team quickly showed superiority in squad quality to come back and control the game.
The most prominent on Al-Nassr's side was Kingsley Coman with an explosive performance when he scored a hat-trick, making a great contribution to helping his team win. Meanwhile, Angelo Gabriel also left his mark with 1 goal and 1 assist. Both players were given a perfect score of 10 by SofaScore.
In contrast to his teammates in the attack, Ronaldo did not have many clear chances throughout the match. He rarely participated in dangerous attacking situations and did not score or assist. The lack of professional presence caused the 41-year-old striker to receive the lowest rating in the team according to statistics after the match.
However, the victory over Al Ahli still helped Al-Nassr win the right to enter the AFC Champions League Two final. This is considered an important opportunity for the Saudi Arabian team to aim for a notable title in the continental arena this season.
According to the schedule, Al-Nassr's opponent in the final will be the Japanese representative Gamba Osaka. The championship-deciding match is scheduled to take place on May 17.
For Cristiano Ronaldo personally, this is also an opportunity for him to end his title drought since joining Al-Nassr, and continue to aim for the milestone of 1,000 goals in his professional playing career.
