To be honest, Al Nassr's defeat against Al Orobah was a hard blow, because if they can't maintain their position in the top 3, then it is very likely that Al Nassr will have difficulty qualifying for the Asian Champions League next season, Al Nassr is currently quite far behind in points from ittihad and hilal, which should be the center of attention of Al Nassr's coach is the defense line, especially their goalkeeper.
It was a disappointing defeat that no one expected especially at this stage that they needed the points to maintain their lead ahead of Al Qadisiya. Now they will be 3 points behind Al Qadisiya if they win their match which will put their AFC champions league at qualification at risk for next season. It will be bad for Al Nassr not to make it to the champions league while having a player like Ronaldo play for them.
They have not been at their best recently we don’t know what is wrong but they need to improve their defense line at least if they want to become expendable and challenge for the cup.
Al Nassr are worse than ever this year. They may lose to teams that are in the top race, but losing to Al Orubah, which is in the middle, was disappointing for Al Nassr fans. If Cristiano Ronaldo and his team don't make it to the Champions League next year, I think it will be bad for them. Al Nassr, who haven't won a championship since Cristiano Ronaldo came, can't play in the Champions League either. A team that everyone expects to be successful from, keeps failing.
Last season they could put strong pressure on Al hillal as title contenders, but what we see this season is actually very tragic in my opinion, not only they lost the championship trophy again but they are even worse if they maybe will miss the AFC next season, what we see this season actually doesn't surprise me too much, apart from the rise of several other teams, Al nassr's performance this season is fairly inconsistent, especially at the beginning of the season where they lost a lot of points from weak teams, although they started to improve when Pioli came but it doesn't seem to make them better at this time.
