Jorge Jesus' Al Nassr won the classic against Sérgio Conceição's Al Ittihad. However, the focus of the game was not on who was on the pitch, but on who did not appear. Cristiano Ronaldo missed the second game in a row, due to an uprising against the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF). After the game, in a press conference, Jorge Jesus and the players again did not comment on the situation of the national team captain, according to information provided by the Saudi press. This stance had already been taken in the first game in which the Portuguese failed. At the time, the technician also refused to address the topic. Despite all the controversy, Ronaldo continues to count on the support of his fans.
