The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo laughed at Al Hilal on Instagram

The rivalry between Al Nassr and Al Hilal is growing in Saudi Arabia, especially in recent years. Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Al Nassr in January of 2023 and has scored lots of goals. Last season, Ronaldo joined too late to help Al Nassr win the league last season in the Saudi Pro League as the team finished 2nd with 67 points. Al Ittihad won the Saudi Pro League with 72 points and was only five points clear of Ronaldo's Al Nassr. This season's history somewhat repeats itself in the league, as Al Nassr is not in first place.
