SPL: You’ve not won any trophy – Al-Hilal’s Jorge Jesus tells Ronaldo
Al-Hilal manager, Jorge Jesus, has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo has not won any trophy in Saudi Arabia.
The Portugal international left Manchester United for Al Nassr in 2022, weeks before the World Cup after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag.
Jesus and his men were defeated by Ronaldo and Al-Nassr in the final of the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023.
Since joining the Saudi Arabian club, the Portugal international has remained their top scorer and currently leads the goal chart with 24 strikes in all competitions.
Despite his achievements in the Middle East, Jesus has refused to credit the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus star.
Al-Nassr played Al-Hilal in the final of the Arab Club Champions Cup on August 12, 2023 and despite falling 1-0 behind and being two man down in the second half, Ronaldo scored a heroic brace to inspire his side to victory.
However, the Arab Cup, which happened during pre-season, is not considered a serious competiiion but a friendly and is not regarded as an official trophy.
Spesking in an interview with Channel 11, the manager insisted that the Portuguese has won absolutely nothing since joining Al Nassr.
“He’s [Ronaldo] won everything in sport, the only thing he hasn’t won is the World Cup with the national team and he still hasn’t won anything in Saudi Arabia,” he said.
Of a truth, Ronaldo has not won the World Cup yet. He has not also won a major honor for Al-Nassr.
The Knights of Najd have have not been able to overpower their local rivals, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad.
Ronaldo is the highest scorer in the history of football with 924 goals and the 40-year-old is hoping to reach 1000 strikes before retirement.
