All of his goals were when they played through balls for him to run onto. With us it's more sideways passing and playing with his back to goal, which he isn't as good at.

SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
What color is your Bugatti?
Lee Trundles playing at a higher standard than this.
And thats a lie
Bless his little cotton socks, like celebrating a goal scored down the park.
The fact I was almost tempted to google and check speaks volumes though.
Conference level opposition today
I can’t believe United fans mock the guy. He’s 38 and still scoring goals. Don’t call them crap, remember, Saudi beat the Argies.
And then what happened? One result isn't significant. Saudi went out of the world cup.
That's the kind of logic that says a non league side beat Liverpool, and Liverpool beat Real Madrid so the non league side is better than Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is 38 but nothing of what he does in the Saudi League matters, nobody in their right minds should count goals in a league that's ranked lower than the championship and League 1.
The Saudi league has a pretty low ranking its not in the top 30 leagues.
It looks like he's trying to wake up Sauron's Eye.
Its the best asian league though, its far better than Welsh lower Leagues. But yes, it aint a top european league
He's mocked for obvious reasons.
it is the best Asian league according AFC's official ranking...But in other rankings there are 3 AFC leagues in the top 33 and the Saudi league isn't among them (Japanese, Chinese and Australian make this ranking but not the Saudi... ). Nor is the South Korean league.

Then when we take the official AFC ranking from Wikipedia, we see Saudi league on top (both 2021 and 2022) and we see the Chinese dropping from 7th in 2021 to 16th in 2022...And the Australian league doesn't even make Asia's top 20... Hard to explain the disparities...

Some of you hate this guy so much you reply to obvious tongue in cheek posts.
To be fair, Saudi Arabia are the only team to beat the current world champions in like 2 years aren't they so it can't be terrible.it is the best Asian league according AFC's official ranking...But in other rankings there are 3 AFC leagues in the top 33 and the Saudi league isn't among them (Japanese, Chinese and Australian make this ranking but not the Saudi... ). Nor is the South Korean league.

Pretty sure a Saudi team wins the Asian CL on a regular basis?it is the best Asian league according AFC's official ranking...But in other rankings there are 3 AFC leagues in the top 33 and the Saudi league isn't among them (Japanese, Chinese and Australian make this ranking but not the Saudi... ). Nor is the South Korean league.

Good luck to him. He made some questionable choices, but he will always be an OT legend.
Only Al-Hilal does recently (Al-Ittihad won it in 2005). There's more disparity with teams from Japan and South Korea who have far more teams capable of winning it/have won it
Nice to see he's found his level!
Probably better goalkeepers in the conference than that fella.
In the flukiest result of the entire world cup, and Saudi were crap the rest of the way
and the team they played is bottom 3, which is like 4th division anywhere else.
Was curious so I checked it:
Performances in finals by nation
Nation | Titles | Runners-up | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Korea | 12 | 7 | 19 |
| Japan | 7 | 4 | 11 |
| Saudi Arabia | 6 | 9 | 15 |
| Iran | 3 | 6 | 9 |
| China | 3 | 2 | 5 |
| Israel | 3 | 1 | 4 |
| Qatar | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| Thailand | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| United Arab Emirates | 1 | 3 | 4 |
| Australia | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Iraq | 0 | 2 | 2 |
| Malaysia | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Oman | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Syria | 0 | 1 | 1 |
That's a strong Korean domination.
Except in the premier league, he would've been stopped anyway and his stiff legs will fail him here.
Not for me. Not after he referred to himself as a slave playing for us and then pulled the stuff he did this season
7th in PL is conference bro... Dont shit unnecessarily in the competitions.
He's playing a relegation candidate in Saudi Arabia, that's more likely as a championship relegation candidate.
Edit: unless you meant the fifth division...
then fair play

The defenders from the highlights seemed tame, but Ronaldo can still run pretty fast when unimpeded. He still got the speed, just not the stamina to play in any top league. The defenders there compared to EPL will sit on you the whole time and pull your shirt the minute you tried to turn and run.
The most sound comment I’ve seen in regards to Ronaldo.
He finds some dangerous form at the second half of the season, he's been like this for decade. It's about time, no wonder.
Hopefully they have a big screen large enough for him to watch himself celebrating, without cutting off part of his head
How many cars you got you bastard?
How many businesses have you built up single handedly in the West Midlands ya cheap little punk!
Asian cl is a mess that mostly benefits far Eastern sides with its weird calendar.
I think the Arabs have been pushing for a long time to change that.

Over top legend?
Sure.
That's just a bad analogy. Saudis beat Argentina and went out. Their league is in fact crap.
Its funny to see CR7 fans wanking themselves silly over this on Twitter. Including Piers Morgan when Ronaldo said he would never go to the Saudi League in their interview.
would you call The Championship in England crap? I know the temperature be stronger, I’m just trying to gauge what you would define as crap.
As a fan of another club, it does make me laugh when I click legend is mocked for taking a humbling step done. I can’t imagine the regulars at Old Trafford having anything but positive to say about Ronaldo overall. Definitely not the ones I’ve spoken to throughout the years anyway.
Al Wahda is around the same level as Aldershot Town (13th) in National League.
Congratulations. Even Dan James can score 6 past them.

Portuguese man of four 
I’m assuming you were meant to say club legend, which I would argue is debatable these days.
I don’t think any United fans who were around for his first stint here would argue that he’s one of if not the best player to play for the club, but it’s the manner in which he left both times and especially this time which rightly annoys people.
But when you give an interview to say that United aren’t good enough and then you sign for a club in the Saudi league you open yourself up to criticism which is justified in my opinion.
