The 37-year-old, who turns 38 on Sunday, terminated his contract with Manchester United after falling out of favour under Erik ten Hag and penned an eye-watering £175m-a-year contract with the Saudi Pro League outfit.
Many expected Ronaldo to enjoy a goal glut in the Arabian gulf after scoring over 800 goals in his illustrious career. But so far, his move to the Riyadh-based club has not gone quite to plan.
Ronaldo did score impress in his first game for the Saudi All Stars in a friendly against Messi’s PSG, scoring twice in their 5-4 defeat, while Messi also got his name on the scoresheet. But he has notched only once for Al-Nassr in his three appearances so far – from the penalty spot – and has generally looked off the pace for his new club.
With Messi set to chase down his all-time Champions League goalscoring record next, Ronaldo may have to concede defeat in the GOAT debate once and for all if he is surpassed by his friendly foe.
