He wants the Ballon d'Or, the reason why Ronaldo is closer to the Champions League

Cristiano Ronaldo knows that he has fallen far behind Lionel Messi in the global consideration of who is the best footballer of all time and this is because the Argentine star has commemorated a brutal season during the 2022/23 period. With winning the World Cup in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, France Football magazine decided to award 'Leo' with his eighth Ballon d'Or, leaving the Portuguese far behind with his five awards in its showcases.

The truth is that Cristiano does not want to stay with his arms crossed and knows that he still has the chance to close that distance. It turns out that during this 2023/24 season, the Portuguese star has shown that despite his 38 years of age, he can still rub shoulders with the best players today, both Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. So much so that Cristiano has scored 46 goals in 2023, the same as the Frenchman and two less than the Norwegian.

In this context, there is the possibility that Ronaldo returns to the big leagues and can play in the Champions League again. It turns out that Newcastle have the possibility of requesting a loan for the Portuguese, so that he can arrive on loan from Al Nassr and thus be part of the English team in the top European competition. This is because according to what Sport reported, "Premier League clubs have decided not to oppose transfers between teams with the same owner. This means that teams like Newcastle, owned by the Saudi fund PIF, they will be free to trade with the Saudi league teams that are shareholders of this fund: Al Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli”.

Is a Cristiano return possible?

The truth is that so far there is no information about a possible return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Premier League, but it is a reality that the possibility is and could happen at any time. However, at this point, Al Nassr would have no intention of giving up his star player, although this could change if Cristiano himself requests it.
