The mystery of Ronaldo and the legend of Barcelona… Victory in the dark tunnel dragged on for a quarter of a century.

Al-Nasr loses the title. A recurring phrase that Al-Alami seems to have become addicted to over the past three years, particularly when legend Cristiano Ronaldo came to headline Saudi Arabia’s ambitious football project.

On Saturday evening, all the conditions were ready for Al-Nasr and Ronaldo to end their years deprived of major titles, but what the yellow team did not expect was the Japanese knot and their own habit, which has been more than a quarter of a century.

A match that Al-Nasr fans and perhaps its stars thought was within reach ended in a sad and shocking scene. a forty-one-year-old man walks alone into a dark tunnel with his back to the stadium, ignoring the coronation ceremony. Cristiano Ronaldo did not turn around, approach the podium or shake hands with any of the Gamba Osaka players.
