Ronaldo Signs With a Saudi Team (The New York Times)

He was [benched at that tournament, too](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/06/sports/soccer/portugal-cristiano-ronaldo-benched.html), after appearing to pout about being substituted in a previous game. [Messi’s victory with Argentina this month in the World Cup in Qatar](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/18/sports/soccer/messi-world-cup-win.html) seemed to cement in many fans’ minds his spot at No. Messi earlier this year signed a deal with the Saudi government to become a tourism ambassador for the kingdom. But like just about every team in the world, it stands several steps behind the giant European teams, like the ones Ronaldo has played for earlier in his career.

He had clashed with his manager, fumed over a lack of starts and showed reluctance to play pressing defense. Ronaldo is generally considered to be, along with Lionel Messi, the greatest player of his generation. “Al-Nassr has a very inspiring vision, and I’m thrilled to join my teammates in the club so we can help the team achieve more success together.” This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves. It posted photos of Ronaldo holding a blue-and-yellow jersey and standing with the team president. Now, Cristiano Ronaldo could be filling the same role in the Middle East.
