The friendly matches for Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr has now come to an end. After drawing against Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan in pre-season friendlies, Al Nassr now faced their first litmus test, in an official Saudi Arabian tournament.

Al Nassr drew 0-0 against Al-Shabab, in a game that included the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo for half an hour, because despite not starting, the Portuguese entered the field of play at minute 62 of the second half. Even so, he failed to score a goal.

The tournament is the Arab Clubs Championship, and we are obviously still in the group stage, as it has just started. As explained by the official description of the tournament, it is "an international football tournament in which all the champion teams of the respective leagues of the countries belonging to the Arab World participate, the Format is inspired by the UEFA Champions League".

When will Cristiano Ronaldo play his next match?

In just 3 days, on July 31 of this year, Al Nassr will have their second game of the same tournament, as they will face US Monastir. In addition, Sadio Mané is already the new official signing of Al Nassr, so it is expected that the Senegalese can play a few minutes, or simply that he is with the squad.
