Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo starred in a historic rivalry, which lasted more than 10 years. However, CR7 put an end to the debate and confirmed that Leo is the best in the world after accepting Al Nassr's offer. Now, while the world champion focuses on the next challenges with PSG, such as winning the Champions League, the path of the "Bug" in Saudi Arabia did not start as expected.

The top scorer in the Champions League left Manchester United and joined Al Nassr, with a historic contract of 200 million euros per season (he signed until 2025). However, in his short time in the Middle East, where he has not yet debuted, he has already added two controversies.

The first of them was linked to the number that he was going to use in the Arab giant. It turns out that the '7' belonged to the Uzbek Jaloliddin Masharipov, who refused in the first instance to hand over the historic number to the 'Bug'. Finally, the midfielder, under his protest, gave the shirt to Cristiano.

The new controversy that revolves around the presence of Portuguese in Saudi Arabia:

Although the fans thought they could see him in Al Nassr's last victory, Cristiano Ronaldo was not taken into account, since the club exceeded the number of foreigners in the squad. In the Saudi Arabian league only eight foreigners are allowed and with CR7 there were already nine. This forced the board to terminate the contract of one of them and the chosen one was the Cameroonian Vincent Aboubakar, who in the current season scored four goals and provided an assist.
