Currently at Al-Nassr, from Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo is close to reaching a negative mark in his career. The Portuguese striker has never gone two seasons in a row without titles and this drought could materialize if his team does not win the Saudi Championship.
The big obstacle for Cristiano Ronaldo to avoid the negative mark is that Al-Nassr occupies the second place in the table, with 53 points, with six rounds left to the end of the championship. The leader is Al-Ittihad, from Romarinho, with 56 points, but still has a game to play.

If they win the pending match, Al-Ittihad could open up a six-point lead at the top of the table and en route to the Saudi title. In the last direct confrontation between the teams in the tournament, in March, the Al-Nassr was defeated by 1-0, with a goal by Romarinho.

In this way, the only trophy to be disputed by Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia is the national championship, but it would have to count on stumbles by the leader Al-Ittihad. Last season, CR7 played for Manchester United and did not win titles in England.
Then, the ace disputed the Qatar World Cup for the selection of Portugal, but did not pass the quarterfinals. In his entire career, Cristiano Ronaldo only failed to lift cups in four seasons, but he had never gone blank in a row.
