Cristiano Ronaldo has been in some form for Al-Nassr in the past few matches. The Portugal star had a rough start in Saudi Arabia but has found himself amongst the goals, scoring two hattricks and showing why Al-Nassr paid such huge money to sign him following his unceremonious exit from Manchester United. He is already fifth on the list of highest goalscorers in the Saudi Pro League (SPL) this season with eight goals. Fans will again expect to see him in action when Al-Nassr hosts Al-Batin in an SPL clash. Before the match, let us look at whether Ronaldo will feature in this contest for Al-Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo Reacts After Scoring a Hat-Trick in Damac FC vs Al-Nassr, Saudi Pro League 2022/23 Match.
