But do you really think winning the Saudi Professional League would make much of a difference as to how the public perceives him? It didn't start in the SPL. He has always been the guy who behaved quite controversially. I think that a lot of people, even his own fans, would have preferred to see him trying to fight back in one the European top leagues. But in the end it was all about the salary. He could have chosen a club that is a little bit below the maybe best five or six clubs, cut a bit of his salary and then try it again in the Champions League.
I wouldn't even say he is a bad player now. He would just have to adapt to new circumstances, to a different fitness level and to the fact that there are 11 guys on the pitch and not just him. This attitude he can keep up only in some inferior league.

But he finally let someone else take a penalty as I am sure he is noticing public discussions about him.

The fact is, currently, Ronaldo is playing in the Saudi Pro League as a striker from the Al Nassr club.

Even before that, not many clubs really wanted him after his interview with Piers Morgan, he kind of ended his own career after making a very controversial statement. attacking his own club, which in the end Ronaldo closed the possibility of playing in the top European league clubs. even though Mendes has worked hard to offer it to almost many clubs, he is even willing to cut his salary by 30%. even so, none of the clubs really want him, all the news related is just rumours.

which in the end, Ronaldo accepted Al Nassr's offer. instead, he gets a very fantastic salary. then, with what Ronaldo paid if not with achievements and brought Al Nassr to win a trophy. whatever criticism and ridicule came his way, he had to ignore it. his job is to play football and bring out all the remnants of his best abilities that he has, therefore he gets a large salary reward.

Indeed, Ronaldo's bold words stirred the pot, but we can't disregard the maestro's prowess on the pitch. Just witness his blazing performance against Liechtenstein, bagging a brace for Portugal. He may not be a spring chicken, but he's far from running on fumes.

I'm excited to see what Ronaldo will bring to the table in the Saudi Arabian league, 'cause there's nothing like watching a GOAT take on a new playground. And, hey, what if Messi tags along for the ride? It'd be a sight to see these football giants clash, and the Saudi Arabian league would be all the richer for it.
