Cristiano Ronaldo suffered his worst loss since joining Al Nassr as Al Ain crushed the Saudi Pro League champions 4-0 in their debut AFC Champions League Elite match in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday. The defeat marked a disastrous return for Al Nassr to Asia’s premier club competition, undone by two goals from Houssine Rahimi and two more from his brother Soufiane Rahimi, along with Giorgos Giakoumakis.
Houssine opened the scoring in the 25th minute following Saad Al-Nasser’s errant back-pass, doubling Al Ain’s lead in the 63rd minute. Soufiane sealed the rout five minutes from the end after being set up by Alejandro Romero, before Giakoumakis completed the humiliation with a close-range finish. Ronaldo, who started alongside new signing João Félix, could not avert the comprehensive defeat, marking his heaviest blow since transferring to Al Nassr.
