The confession of a spanish referee about Cristiano Ronaldo that surprises many

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to shine away from Europe and does so in a league where he can enjoy his football more as well as the company of his family. The Portuguese decided to close his European stage after a brief return to Manchester United. During his time at Old Trafford, the 38-year-old did not live his best moments in his second season in charge of Erik ten Hag.

Because of this, the player decided to end his career in Europe after not having offers from European clubs. For this reason, the player decided to bet on signing with Al Nassr of the Saudi Pro League as a free agent. Since then, Saudi Arabia has become a popular destination for footballers looking for a less demanding challenge. You could say that The Bug's arrival in the Middle Eastern country motivated more players to do the same.

With this said, the arrival of Ronaldo became a reality and since then, the team has become a benchmark in the league. On the other hand, the Riyadh team had a bad start to the season. However, this has been changing over the weeks and at the moment it maintains a streak of matches with victory. In turn, Ronaldo is the top scorer of the team and the league. The qualification to the AFC Champions League gave way to The Goat to debut in a new intercontinental tournament

With good numbers so far, Cristiano enjoys his career away from Europe. After successful steps at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, the Portuguese player is one of the best players in history. Together with Lionel Messi they dominated the soccer world for years. Nevertheless, it seems that not everything was positive in Ronaldo's time at Real Madrid. According to a former referee this was the situation he lived with Cristiano in Spain.
