Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by SportConn(op): 2:11pm On May 19
Ronaldo Has Still Not Won A Major Trophy In Saudi Arabia. Does It Affect His Legacy?

League disappointments.
AFC Champions League failure.
Another final lost.

Some fans say Ronaldo already completed football long ago and has nothing left to prove.

Others believe a player called the GOAT should dominate wherever he goes.

What’s your honest opinion?

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored over 970 official senior career goals for club and country. He is widely recognized as the top goalscorer in football

Our star boy has completed everything he desires
We love him that way
CR7 always

Is he supposed to play and win alone?
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by obonujoker(m): 9:35pm On May 19
Ronaldo has won 1 trophy with Al Nassr.

They are winning another one come Thursday.

Moreover, nothing is touching his legacy....

Has the Saudi league ended already?
Wait till they fail to win that before you talk
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by Cerebellum:
Thank God you added 'major' bcoz he had actually won a cup with them, and baba is winning another on Thursday

UP GUNNERS, where are we celebrating this premier league cupgrin
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by ARISHEM:
Na Winch dey ask this kind question.
Last year they query him about why is he not retiring. Now they are trying to get his attention on whether his Saudi move has hurt his football legacy.
His salary is ₦12.92 billion per week (based on a reported annual contract of €400 million). His massive earnings can be broken down to ₦1.87 billion per day and roughly ₦23,000 per second.
With that kind of earnings do you think his move to Saudi hurt his football legacy.
If you ask him won't his reply be, Abeg wetin concern you. huh
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by 123readygo: 9:36pm On May 19
Nope. He has nothing to prove to anybody. He won it all in his prime days. He’s old and should have long retired if not for Arabian money

Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by mayor1814: 9:42pm On May 19
He's more concerned about 1000 goals. Still stuck at ZERO Player of the tournament award in 23 years of International football; ZERO world cup medal & trophy; ZERO world cup knock out goals; etc Penaldo for a reason
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by Rootprof(m): 9:43pm On May 19
No matter how good your are, GOAT or not, you can't be in the show for life, AGE will be done on you. Please leave these guys alone, MESSI and RONALDO they've both paid their dues for years. Even some players thought can match them fumbled within few seasons. I hate people creating unnecessary arguments about them. I love them both cos they made us happy and enjoyed football especially at their prime. God bless them both. Love 💕

Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by Angelfrost(m): 9:49pm On May 19
Ronaldo's legacy is sealed and very much pristine... He has nothing left to prove tbh.

He even brought the Saudi league into the grand spotlight, and his presence elevated their viewership among leagues.

So, what exactly are you on about?!! tongue
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by Mgreat(m): 9:50pm On May 19
What legacy is he hurting?😏😏😏
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by cr7lomo: 9:51pm On May 19
Person wey go win league in 2 days time ... all these Messi trolls sha
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by Flets: 9:53pm On May 19
I think the superiority argument between him and Messi has already been put to bed.

He has tried but unfortunately Messi is light years ahead and still performing

Ronaldo has not won a single trophy for Al-Nassr.

As a matter of fact, he’s lost 14 Official titles presented to him since joining. A total failure. No where near the top 5 GOATS.

Who would have watched Saudi pro league if not because of CR7?

Last week, hundreds of millions of football fans worldwide watched Al Nassr vs Al Hilal because they wanted to see if CR7 would win the league.

Even the OP that opened this thread, I'm very sure he didn't have any interest in Saudi Arabia football before Ronaldo joined the league.

Millions of people worldwide follow Saudi pro league today because of Ronaldo.

That's a legacy.

Like for Ronaldo, Share for Messi

Al nassr wasnt the best club when he joined ....pls mention the 14 top competitions he participated in the past 3 years tat he has been there ....

Ronaldo de lima dint damage his legacy despite only winning one major title after winning the world cup in 2002...and thats La liga with Madrid....he dint win any other major trophy for the remainder of his career thats 9 yrs straight.... but Ronaldo thats gonna win their league on Thursday has damaged his legacy ...lol

You talked like a loser, a hater and a bitter person.

When he was doing great while he was younger, where were you?


Humans are wicked!

The guys is a good footballer and nothing more.

Not even in the top 5 list of GOATS. Watch him
Play and you begin to wonder if some people actually have ***** or not 😂.

He is a failure at Alnasir.

How can you win just 1/15 cups. That’s if he wins it in few days time. A total failure.

I won't be surprised if this op is an APC, Hezbollah and Iran supporter. This is exactly the way they reason.
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by marlow1962(m): 10:11pm On May 19
Baba should retire from that Camels 🐪 league and go enjoy his wealth, be a coach or something else.

He has achieved what is there to achieve (except for world cup) and I know that's what he's fighting for.
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by Melagros(m): 10:12pm On May 19
COMRADES, Ronaldo na business footballer, he doesn't care about your major title, what he is after is the money in Saudi Arabia, which is right
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by JackDaAlienz(m): 10:12pm On May 19

Oga if you like cry from now till tomorrow.

Ronaldo is a good player, but it stops there. He is not exceptional.

He is not even in the list of top 5 GOATS. As simple as ABC.

Scoring goals without winning the league is nothing, look at Messi, he's scoring goals and he has won MLS league already.
Re: Has Ronaldo’s Saudi Move Hurt His Football Legacy? by Judolisco(m): 10:13pm On May 19
It actually exposed him... He needs good players around him to play well... Everybody needs good players oh... But Ronaldo is really dependent... He must camp in the box to get goals... If u don't have a proper winger and good midfielders.. D dude is useless, plus Age sha
