Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to have a major impact since joining Al-Nassr – and his arrival in Saudi Arabia might actually be hindering the team in some ways, according to teammate Luis Gustavo.
Ronaldo scored his first goal for Al-Nassr in his third game on Friday as Rudi Garcia’s side earned a 2-2 draw against Al-Fateh. But a last-minute penalty is all the Riyadh-based side have to show for their £172million-a-year star so far.
The 38-year-old joined Al-Nassr at the start of January and, after being made to wait due to a ban hanging over his head, he made a goalless debut in a narrow win over Ettifaq. He followed that game with another goalless appearance as Al-Nassr were dumped out of the Saudi Super Cup by Al-Ittihad.
