Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who received the Best Middle East Player Award at the Globe Soccer Awards, expressed his desire to become a club owner at the event. " I am still very young, I have so many plans and dreams ahead. Mark my words, I will be the owner of a big club. For sure," he said at the ceremony.

Fans of rival teams which Al Nassr face at away games greet Cristiano Ronaldo with chants of: “Messi, Messi, Messi...” The taunts have hit harder this season, as it appears, once again that the side from Riyadh will end the campaign empty handed after slipping up to Al Taawoun on Friday night as both sides shared a 1-1 draw.

Despite nearing his 40th birthday, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to perform at an elite level, scoring 75 goals in 84 appearances for Al Nassr since joining the club and leading them to the Arab Club Champions Cup title.
