It’s back to work for Cristiano Ronaldo, whose Al-Nassr side have their penultimate fixture of the season on Thursday, when they host Al-Riyadh. While Ronaldo’s team is guaranteed to finish second in the Saudi Pro League, whatever happens in their final two matches, the 39-year-old, who tops the league’s scoring charts, will no doubt want to finish the season in good form ahead of Portugal’s Euro 2024 tilt this summer.
