After losing 1-4 to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup, Ronaldo has still failed to win a trophy since joining Al-Nassr. The Korean media, which has a history of feuding with Ronaldo, took this opportunity to mock the Portuguese star: He has scored 66 goals in Saudi Arabia but has failed to win a single title, while Neymar has won 5 titles while recovering from an injury that kept him sidelined for 10 months.
Spanish media previously revealed that Ronaldo touched the trophy on the sidelines when he entered the field for the final, which led to the “curse” being activated again. Since moving to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo, who was eagerly anticipating trophies, motivated his teammates to bounce back during the game, but ultimately couldn’t escape a 1-4 defeat.
It’s worth noting that Al-Hilal has won titles consecutively, but their strongest player, Neymar, has been sidelined for 10 months due to a cruciate ligament injury. During this time, however, Neymar has won 5 titles. Since joining Al-Hilal, Neymar has only played 5 games, meaning he has won a title for every game he’s played.
Korean media outlet Sports Chosun subtly mocked Ronaldo, stating, “Perhaps Ronaldo is extremely envious of Neymar. Since joining Al-Nassr, he has played 72 games and scored 66 goals, showcasing an age-defying performance. However, despite scoring so many goals, he cannot win a single title. He had won trophies at Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and the Portugal national team. His current inability to win anything is likely hard to accept.”
Although he has won 5 titles while sidelined for 10 months, Neymar is nearing recovery and has returned to training. Reports suggest he might return to the field in September.
