Cristiano Ronaldo

The Portuguese superstar, remained absent from the squad for Al-Nassr's last three matches across all competitions.

Arshdeep Singh delighted the Delhi crowd by performing Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous 'SIU' celebration, a moment that quickly went viral across social media platforms.

Al-Nassr enters the knockout stage with a perfect record from the group phase, but face a disciplined Arkadag side that remains unbeaten at home this year.

Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr travel to the Ashgabat Olympic Stadium on February 11 to face Turkmenistani champions FK Arkadag in the first leg of their AFC Champions League Two 2025-26 Round of 16 tie.

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to miss Al-Nassr’s high-stakes clash against Al-Ittihad on Friday, 6 February 2026. Despite being physically fit, the 41-year-old forward has reportedly extended his "protest strike" due to frustrations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s (PIF) recent management and transfer decisions.

Al-Nassr are set to host Al-Ittihad on 6 February 2026, in a high-stakes Saudi Clasico at Al-Awwal Park. The Saudi Pro League 2025-26 fixture carries significant weight for the hosts, who sit second in the table and aim to close the gap on league leaders Al-Hilal.

Al-Nassr currently sits just one point behind league leaders Al-Hilal, with a victory against sixth-placed Al-Ittihad could propel them to the top of the Saudi Pro League 2025-26 table. However, all eyes will be on the availability of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Al-Nassr star had not featured in the club's 1-0 win over Al Riyadh on Monday, in protest of PIF's alleged lack of investment in Al Nassr and to give their arch-rivals, Al Hilal, an advantage and greater effort.

On his 41st birthday, Cristiano Ronaldo stands near the historic 1,000-goal milestone. Despite recent reports of a "strike" at Al Nassr over competitive concerns, the Portuguese icon remains focused on reaching the quadruple-digit mark before the 2026 World Cup.

Since his 2003 debut for Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo has built a legendary career, winning as many as five Ballon d'Or awards and scoring over 960 career goals during stints with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr.

The 17-year-old batting sensation struck a commanding century at the Harare Sports Club, reaching the milestone in just 86 balls, which saw the young batter bring out Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic 'SIUU' celebration.
