João Félix backs Ronaldo: ex-Benfica star eyes Al Nassr move | OneFootball

Despite Al Nassr starting the season with a defeat in the Super Cup final, Cristiano Ronaldo's goal remains the same: to win his first title in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the coveted championship. To this end, João Félix has arrived in Riyadh, who will be an important asset for Jorge Jesus's team.

Al Nassr came very close to winning the Super Cup but failed to capitalize on the lead they achieved twice during the match, ultimately being defeated by Al Ahli in a penalty shootout, in a match where Ronaldo found the back of the net.

Jorge Jesus's team has strengthened well for this new season, and in addition to the former Benfica player, names such as Kingsley Coman have joined the Saudi squad, who will be an important help for Cristiano Ronaldo in the attack.

With the quality of Al Nassr's squad rising, improvements were seen in the first two official games of the 2025/2026 season. Furthermore, Jorge Jesus's experience in the Saudi league will also be important, considering he has already won a championship with Al Hilal in 2024, as well as three Super Cups and a Cup with the same team.

Al Nassr takes the field tomorrow, August 29, in what will be the first round of the Saudi championship. Facing them, the team of João Félix and Cristiano Ronaldo will meet Al Taawon. The team led by Jorge Jesus will play the first round of the league at the opponent's home.
