AL-HURIFI: RONALDO HAS ADDED NOTHING — MUST LEAVE AL-NASSR NOW … Details 👇
Fresh criticism erupts for football’s all-time top scorer after humiliating 4–0 defeat
Al-Nassr legend Fahd Al-Hurifi has launched a scathing attack on club captain Cristiano Ronaldo, calling for his immediate dismissal following the team’s crushing 4–0 loss to Al Ain in the opening round of the AFC Champions League Elite.
The heavy defeat has sparked a wave of criticism, and Al-Hurifi has joined the chorus — going further than most by claiming Ronaldo’s time at the club has yielded nothing of value. Speaking on the programme “Doreena Ghair”, he declared: “Ronaldo has not added anything to Al-Nassr. His presence holds no importance for the club, and he must be dismissed at the present time.”
No trophies, no marketing gain — and no contribution
Al-Hurifi argued the Portuguese star has failed to deliver on and off the pitch. “Ronaldo has not brought major titles to Al-Nassr. Even on the marketing side, the club has not benefited from him. Why is the management still waiting on him?” He pointed to Ronaldo’s massive salary alongside what he sees as diminishing returns: “A player advanced in age who does not give the required contribution, yet receives huge sums of money with no benefit.”
Personal milestones over team success?
The former forward claimed Ronaldo is now chasing personal glory — specifically the milestone of 1,000 career goals — rather than fighting for trophies. “Keeping him does nothing for Al-Nassr’s objectives. He is focused on his own record, not the team’s success.”
He also drew a direct comparison with Al-Hilal’s handling of Karim Benzema: “Al-Nassr is bigger than Ronaldo. We saw what Al-Hilal did with Benzema — they moved on when he no longer delivered. We must do the same.”
Pressure mounts after Al Ain collapse
The 4–0 thrashing has turned up the heat on Ronaldo and manager Ange Postecoglou. With fierce debate raging over the captain’s future, Al-Hurifi’s words have amplified calls for a major shake-up — and a decision on one of the game’s greatest-ever players.
