After making his debut in front of Saudi Arabian crowd and also scoring a brace in the Riyadh All-Stars XI vs PSG exhibition game, Cristiano Ronaldo will be back in action along with his club Al-Nassr as the latest round of fixtures in the Saudi Pro League 2023 line them up against Al-Ettifaq. The Saudi Arabian club announced the signing of the Portugal star at the start of the year and then unveiled him in front of the fans in a grand ceremony at Mrsool Park. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner trained with his new club teammates but was unable to play the important Saudi Pro League games of Al-Nassr against Al-Tai and Al-Shabab due a pre-imposed suspension. Now that he has served the entire tenure of the suspension, he will be back to the football pitch in Al-Nassr's face-off with Al-Ettifaq. He looked in shape with full match fitness and his hunger for goals intact when he faced Lionel Messi's PSG in his last game, although he was subbed off in the 60th minute.
