On March 12, at 2:00 a.m., Cristiano Ronaldo made an unexpected appearance at the press conference preceding Al Nassr’s match versus Al Ain (UAE) in the second leg of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals. He attempted to clarify the most recent events.

Al Nassr’s 0-1 away loss against Al Ain in the first leg resulted in Ronaldo’s one-match suspension and 2,500 euro fine for his disrespectful acts during his protests against the opposing support base. The well-known Portuguese athlete, however, did not appear to accept the penalty as he stood out once more to clarify the most recent occurrence.

“Life is full of mistakes because I’m only human and nothing is flawless, but it’s better to make less mistakes in order to improve. Some people act because they don’t grasp things well. People don’t always understand what I do. Ronaldo said, “What I did previously and the punishment I received were misinterpreted.

“That conduct is typical in Europe, and I appreciate the nation in which I currently reside. Excessive excitement and enthusiasm during a game can occasionally lead to blunders. Who doesn’t err occasionally? However, I didn’t do anything improper on purpose,” Ronaldo clarified.

“I am really happy to be able to play in Saudi Arabia,” he stressed. I’m also thrilled to be performing at Al Nassr Club. Al Nassr’s season has been going great for me so far. We are still competitive in every tournament.”

“I can’t promise much, though. We are aware that tomorrow’s contest is crucial. We are optimistic and ready. For those who adore Al, Nassr, tonight will be fantastic. I urge all of Al Nassr’s supporters to join us. We can advance to the semi-finals with great confidence in our abilities,” said Ronaldo.

Ronaldo hopes to turn the tables for Al Nassr against Al Ain

Ronaldo and Al Nassr are experiencing a run of unsatisfactory games. The team played its third game without smelling victory after the well-known Portuguese player struggled in their previous two encounters (one draw and two losses).

Rival Al Hilal has widened Al Nassr’s lead in the Saudi Pro League to 12 points. Their only real hope is on the AFC Champions League arena, but Ronaldo and his colleagues need to turn around their 0-1 loss to Al Ain in the rematch at home on March 12 at 2:00 a.m.

Ronaldo may also anticipate the chance to win the King Cup and Super Cup, two additional cup competitions in Saudi Arabia. However, Al Nassr is also probably going to face off against fierce rival Al Hilal in the championship race in these two tournaments.
