Ronaldo pipped to player of the month by Al Nassr’s new signing | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo did not win the Player of the Month award in the Saudi Arabian league. The distinction was awarded to one of his teammates, João Félix, who joined Al Nassr in the last summer transfer window, surpassing his team captain in the voting.

The 25-year-old Portuguese international forward is one of the key players for the Riyadh yellows in this unbeaten start to the league. In four matches in September, the former Benfica player scored five goals and provided one assist, thus surpassing the Madeira star by one goal and one assist.

It wasn't just João Félix who was honored at Al Nassr with the Player of the Month award for September by the Saudi Arabian league. Coach Jorge Jesus also received the accolade, thanks to the impressive work he has done at the start of this season, after being with Al Hilal last season.

Al Nassr will be back on the field this Wednesday, October 1st, at 19:15, in a match for the second round of the Champions League 2, traveling to face Al Zawraa. Despite the importance of the competition, Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of the squad by technical decision.

At the start of this sports season, Cristiano Ronaldo - valued at 12 million euros - maintains his goal-scoring prowess and seems not to slow down. In six games and 540 minutes played for Al Nassr, the Portuguese star has already scored five goals and provided one assist.
