Joao Felix & Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr)
September 2025

Joao Felix scored and assisted as Al-Nassr cruised past Jeddah 4-0 in the Saudi King Cup of Champions, while Cristiano Ronaldo stayed on the bench. Felix has rediscovered form since leaving Chelsea, already notching seven goals across competitions. Coach Jorge Jesus explained Ronaldo’s absence was to protect his fitness ahead of key league matches. Felix, meanwhile, continued his electric start, combining flair and finishing to lead Al-Nassr’s attack. Jesus praised the team’s dominance, adding “no team can confront Al-Nassr’s attack” at this stage.
