Despite impressive individual numbers, the team struggled to match the consistency and defensive prowess of Al Ittihad.

Ronaldo reportedly had issues with the team's coach, Rudi Garcia, who left the club in April.

Saudi Arabia football officials hope the league will become one of the best in the world with the arrival of top-class foreign players.

However, the increase in the number of foreign players from seven to eight may have negative consequences for Saudi players' development.

Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr has had a significant impact on the club's success and reputation, both on and off the field.

The club's social media following has increased dramatically, and the number of international broadcasters interested in airing their matches has grown significantly.

Ronaldo's presence in Saudi Arabia is seen as a way for the country to position itself as a major sporting hub and to promote itself to the world through sports branding.

Ronaldo's family and children have also been seen as a way to promote a healthy lifestyle in the country, where rates of obesity are increasing.

Saudi football officials believe that Ronaldo will inspire the next generation of players and help to increase participation in the sport.
