Will Cristiano Ronaldo play in the Al-Nassr vs Al-Akhdoud match in the Saudi Pro League 2024-25? This might be a question lingering in the minds of football fans as they eagerly wait to watch the Portugal national football team star return to action. The 37-year-old was seen in action last on December 6 in Al-Nassr's final match of the year 2024 which they lost to Al-Ittihad by a 1-2 margin. Cristiano Ronaldo had pulled one goal back for the Knights of Najd in that Saudi Pro League 2024-25 game before Al-Ittihad went on to win the contest with a late winner from Steven Bergwijn. Al-Nassr will return to action after over a month and a lot of the attention is set to be around Cristiano Ronaldo, who was honoured for being the top goal-scorer of all time at the Globe Soccer Awards 2024.

Al-Nassr currently sit fourth on the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 points table with a total of 25 points in their kitty, having won seven matches out of 13 with two defeats and four draws. A win against 14th-placed Al-Akhdoud, will lift them to third but they will need to string together some favourable results and also hope the teams placed above them drop points, if they are to reignite hopes of challenging for the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 title.
