Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr suffered their second consecutive defeat after they were beaten 3-1 at home by Al Raed.
Ronaldo made his domestic return following his one-game suspension for performing an 'obscene gesture' towards Al Shabab fans in his most recent Saudi Pro League game.
However, the Portuguese star's comeback couldn't inspire Al Nassr to victory as they fell further down the league table and away from Al Hilal who sit nine points clear, with a game in hand.
The Knights of Najd were also beaten earlier this week as they lost 1-0 in Abu Dhabi against Al Ain. That defeat came in the first leg of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, a competition the Yellow Army are desperate to win.
It's a worrying time to be an Al Nassr fan as they've now gone three matches without a win, and the pressure is piling on manager Luis Castro.

There was much noise about Al Nassr playing a draw because CR7 was serving his suspension. What is happening now that he played?

After destroying Ronaldoβs Al Nassr, Al-Raed fans chanting Messiβs name. Messi conquered the hearts of Saudi Arabians without setting a foot in that league. πGOAT FC.

Right now, it is Talisca VS Cr5! Cr5 can rival anyone, he just wants to be the only shining one. I can bet with you that Al Nassr will soon sack cr5. Cr5 has never completed is contract anywhere. He was sacked by Madrid. He was sacked by Juve. He was sacked by Utd after being bench for a long time. Cr5 and his fans don't care about any team but only care about cr5 scoring goals for personal glory. Cr5 is never a team player, a team player don't care who scores as long as the team wins but cr5 do not care even if the team loses as long as cr5 scores. Cr5 only has goal scoring mentality but doesn't have winning mentality. Cr5 only want to score instead of want to win.

Pls pls...point of corrections, it's not all United fans that are Ronaldo fans. Most especially me as an example. There is one and only Goat Messi, even if he's beaten me twice at final, he's still my goat and i respect him for that. Goat Messi the King of football. The ever best number 10

No you are wrong. I am an Indian and a Messi fan through and through. Ronaldo was looked up to for his hard work and thus he has a fair share of fandom in India. Stop this stereotypical statements. If we all 1.5 billion Indians spit at your people you and your 5 generations would be drowning in that.. Be careful not to engage with someone's ethnicity. Bloody racist.
