Wayne Rooney criticizes Cristiano Ronaldo's conduct with Portugal
Wayne Rooney says Ronaldo's departure from Portugal camp crossed the line and openly questions the star's attitude.
The Saudi Pro League has postponed a crucial fixture involving Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr and Asian champions Al Ahli. The match, scheduled for Thursday, was one of three games rescheduled by the league. The decision to postpone the game was based on "logistical considerations," specifically the mandatory minimum rest period between matches, rather than the escalating security situation in Riyadh.
Earlier this week, alerts were issued in the Saudi capital due to intensified fighting between the kingdom and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels. While matches in Riyadh proceeded as planned, the Al Nassr game faced an hour-long delay due to an alert. The SPL cited organisational and operational requirements for the rescheduling, in accordance with approved regulatory procedures for managing the competition's schedule.
The postponed match between Al Ahli and Al Nassr, marked by a tense previous encounter and high stakes, will now be played on March 6, 2027.
