  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo has reached the very top of his chosen profession by demanding nothing but perfection from himself and those that he works alongside. At 40 years of age, that desire to be the best shows no sign of waning.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  While CR7 can be a demanding character, he is happy to pass on nuggets of advice to colleagues when he feels that something needs to improve. Lessons from the Portuguese GOAT are always gratefully received in the Saudi Pro League.

• WHAT AL-NASSR GOALKEEPER SAID

  Brazil international Bento has said of what it is like to work with Ronaldo on a daily basis: “Cristiano is phenomenal, he always tries to help us, he gives us tips, he sees something that can be improved. He is not afraid to talk to us. With this kind of relationship, it is impossible to not get along better. I try to absorb the best things. It is a great experience.”

  DID YOU KNOW?

  Bento joined Ronaldo in Riyadh during the summer of 2024, shunning interest from Europe before heading to the Middle East, and is happy with the big career calls that he has made. The 25-year-old added: “I think there is a bit of prejudice against the Saudi league, just look at who plays there. I don’t even need to talk about my team. My level is the same, I continue to improve. I can show that on the pitch. I will do my best to demonstrate that.”
