Ronaldo's Unspeakable Act Towards Fan After Costly Al-Nassr Penalty Blunder

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a decisive penalty in the 96th minute, sending Al-Nassr out of the King’s Cup with a 1-0 loss to Al-Taawoun in the round of 16.

After returning from a rest in Friday’s 3-3 league draw against Al-Kholood, Ronaldo was back in the starting lineup under manager Stefano Pioli but found his team trailing 1-0 deep into added time.

When a late penalty was awarded, courtesy of substitute Mohammed Maran, Ronaldo took the high-pressure kick.

Known for his precision in crucial moments, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner aimed to power the shot in, only to blast it over the crossbar.

The ball sailed into the stands, where it struck a young fan recording on his phone, sending the device flying.

Though Al-Nassr had seven more minutes of stoppage time, they couldn’t equalize, and Ronaldo’s missed opportunity sealed their cup exit.

This isn’t the first time Ronaldo has had a mishap with a fan’s phone; in 2022, he accidentally knocked one from a boy’s hand during Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Everton.

This loss leaves Al-Nassr with slim chances at silverware, as they sit third in the league table, six points behind champions Al-Hilal after just eight matches. Ronaldo, however, seemed focused on recovery, posting on Instagram: “Every challenge is an opportunity to grow.”

Al-Nassr head coach Stefano Pioli, formerly of AC Milan, expressed disappointment after the match.

“We’re disappointed to be out of the cup, but we still have two championships to fight for,” he said. “Our performance was technically strong, but we couldn’t capitalize on our chances. Al-Taawoun scored from a corner, and that made the difference.”

Alphonso Davies’ Agent Sets Up Talks With Real Madrid And Man Utd After Bayern Fallout

Alphonso Davies' Agent Sets Up Talks With Real Madrid And Man Utd After Bayern Fallout

Real Madrid’s pursuit of Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies has been reinvigorated after a series of developments that suggest the Canadian defender’s future remains undecided. While Bayern had recently shown confidence in retaining Davies, Real Madrid has been given fresh hope of securing his signature.

Davies is unlikely to commit to any decision before January, allowing Real Madrid time to prepare an official contract offer.

According to Christian Falk via The Daily Briefing, Davies’ agent, Nedal Huoseh, was supposed to meet with Bayern officials in Munich.

However, the meeting was shifted to a virtual call, and Bayern’s Director of Football, Max Eberl, did not attend, reportedly frustrating Huoseh. This isn’t the first instance of strained relations between Bayern and Davies’ representative.

The next set of negotiations is now expected to happen in January. Although Bayern remains hopeful that Davies will sign a contract extension, Huoseh has scheduled meetings with both Manchester United and Real Madrid to review their offers.

Real Madrid’s current proposal is similar to Bayern’s, which could give Manchester United an edge if they table a significantly better offer. Despite Bayern’s push for a swift resolution, it appears the situation will extend into the new year.

William Saliba Delivers Huge Arsenal Boost With Clear Message On His Future

William Saliba has significantly boosted Arsenal by committing his future to the club. The French defender has been pivotal to Mikel Arteta’s squad since cementing his place in the starting lineup during the 2022-23 season.

At just 23 years old, Saliba has already surpassed 100 appearances for the Gunners and has featured in 13 Premier League matches this season as Arsenal chase the title.

His standout performances have reportedly attracted interest from Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants identifying him as a key transfer target.

Despite the speculation, Saliba, who is under contract until 2027, made it clear that he feels “at home” at Arsenal and has no intention of leaving.

When asked about his future, he told The Mirror: “Yeah, of course, I feel at home. I signed for the club five years ago, but this is only my third season, and I’m enjoying everything — the players, the staff, and the fans. I feel at home, so of course, why not?”

Saliba’s consistent form has earned him a spot in the PFA Team of the Year for the past two seasons.

His defensive contributions have been crucial to Arsenal’s success, helping the team maintain the second-best defensive record in the league with just 14 goals conceded in 14 games. Only league leaders Liverpool have a better record, with 11 goals conceded.

Even though Arsenal trail Liverpool by seven points, Saliba remains confident that the gap can be closed. “Everything is possible,” he said. “The season is very long, and we’ve experienced that in the past two years. We just have to focus on ourselves. It’s still only December, so a lot of things can happen.”

Saliba was instrumental in Arsenal’s recent 2-0 win over Manchester United, scoring a crucial second goal that helped narrow the gap to Liverpool.

The Gunners now aim to build on that momentum when they face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, seeking to avenge last season’s defeat at the same venue.
