Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best soccer players in our history, and he has all the trophies and awards to show for it. But the fans truly recognize his greatness for his ability to turn up in big games. The Portuguese forward is known for being a crucial player in those games, often scoring to help his team grab the victory.
Everyone remembers the various goals he scored against big teams like Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid and many more. Most of them were during sensational comeback victories as well, and Ronaldo wants to add one more club to that list.
Cristiano Ronaldo delivers strong message to Al Ain
Cristiano Ronaldo has been impressive for Al Nassr this season, but the club cannot say the same. The club is already 12 points behind Saudi Pro League leader Al Hilal. Their most recent setback came in the AFC Champions League last week.
They had faced another Saudi club, Al Ain, in the quarter final fixture. In the first leg last week, Ronaldo and his men failed to score and conceded a lone goal. And now the second leg is tomorrow at their home stadium, and Ronaldo is still hopeful about their qualification to the next stage.

Ahead of the clash, skipper Ronaldo spoke to the media, where he apologized for his indecent gesture a few weeks ago. Despite being one goal behind, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said, “We will not spare any drop of sweat for the fans of Al-Nassr. Tomorrow, remontada!”
Remontada means comeback in Spanish, which was popularized by FC Barcelona. Ronaldo is no stranger to the term, as he had proved in his European days that he has what it takes to help his team come out of danger multiple times.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance in AFC Champions League
Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best player in the UEFA Champions League, and he is still being impressive in the Asian version. In the 7 games he has played in the competition this season, he has scored five goals and assisted one. Despite it being his debut season in the competition, he has managed to become quite comfortable.
Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will be desperate to get their hands on the AFC Champions League trophy this season, as the league is quite lost already to rivals Al Hilal. This is the only meaningful competition for Ronaldo, as he will be aiming to bring the club their first AFC Champions League trophy.
Cristiano Ronaldo will hope to be on the scoresheet once again in tomorrow’s second leg fixture against Al Ain, and complete another remontada in his career.
