Cristiano Ronaldo returns home to be with his family following Al-Nassr's heartbreaking exit from the AFC Champions League. The Saudi Arabian side suffered a 3–2 defeat to Kawasaki Frontale in the semi-finals, ending their continental aspirations for the season.
Despite dominating possession with 75% and registering 21 shots, Al-Nassr could not convert their chances into a victory. Ronaldo, visibly emotional, was seen on the pitch fighting back tears as he expressed frustration over missed opportunities.
This loss adds to the series of setbacks in Ronaldo's post-Real Madrid career, as he continues to pursue a major international club title. Nonetheless, the Portuguese forward took to social media to reflect on the defeat, sharing a message that read, "Sometimes the dream has to wait." Ronaldo also expressed pride in his team's efforts and gratitude to the fans for their continued support.
Ronaldo remains Al-Nassr's top scorer this season with 23 goals, leading the race for the Golden Boot by four goals. Following the Champions League exit, Ronaldo decided to return home to his family. In prior interviews, he had highlighted how well he and his family had adjusted to life in Saudi Arabia, expressing their happiness living in the region.
With the Champions League campaign now over, Ronaldo’s focus shifts to his domestic duties as he continues to lead Al-Nassr in their league challenges for the remainder of the season.
