Lost 1-2 to Benzema! 40-year-old Ronaldo missed the top 8 of Saudi Arabia: lost 2 crowns in 2 months and 0 crowns in 3 years of Saudi career

C Ronaldo’s championship drought in Saudi Arabia continues. In the early morning of October 29, the 1/8 finals of the Saudi Crown began, with Riyadh winning against Jeddah United. Benzema scored, but Ronaldo did nothing. In the end, Riyadh lost 1-2 and was eliminated early.

This season, Riyadh Victory is in very good form in the league, winning all 6 games and ranking first. In contrast, Jeddah United won only 3 games in 6 rounds and ranked 10th in the Saudi Arabian League standings. Compared with Ronaldo, Jeddah United's number one Benzema is also in slightly worse shape.

However, Benzema was extremely excited about this game. In the 15th minute, Jeddah jointly launched a counterattack. Diaby passed a diagonal pass from the right, and Benzema followed up and scored a goal. Riyadh Victory trailed 0-1 at home.

In the 29th minute, Ronaldo made a pass from the left, and teammate Angelo volleyed the goal, 1-1. After the goal, Angelo ran towards Ronaldo, who embraced his teammates passionately. In the 46th minute, Jeddah United sent a beautiful through ball near the midline, and Oyar scored with a single shot, 1-2.

In the 51st minute, Jeddah United played one less player. In the next 40 minutes, Riyadh Victory, which had one more player, almost besieged its opponent, but failed to score again. In the end, Riyadh Victory was upset 1-2 at home.

In this campaign, Ronaldo started the game. Only 1 of 5 shots was on target. The media score was 6.9 points, and his performance was not ideal. In just 2 months, Ronaldo has missed two championships this season. Before missing the Saudi crown tonight, Ronaldo also lost the final of the Saudi Super Cup on August 23.

In January 2023, Ronaldo joined Riyadh Victory. Now nearly three years have passed, and Ronaldo has yet to win any official competition championship in Saudi Arabia, which makes him very embarrassed. Cristiano Ronaldo's annual salary in Riyadh is as high as 200 million euros, ranking first in sports.
