Social media users circulated a video clip of Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo chanting some inspiring words of encouragement following his team's impressive victory over Al-Ittihad in the Roshen League. Al-Nassr achieved a valuable 2-0 victory over its rival Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Professional League's classic match last Friday evening, the pinnacle of the fourth round of the tournament.
Ronaldo appeared in the circulating video on the pitch to greet the fans after the victory over Al-Ameed. Cameras captured him saying, "It's over, we'll win the league." However, many observers questioned the authenticity of the video, claiming it was edited using artificial intelligence. They linked the incident to statements made by former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand, who was analyzing the match on Channel 8. Ferdinand stated that he spoke to Ronaldo and told him that they would win the league after this victory. However, Ronaldo refused, telling him, "Calm down, let's take each match seriously." With this victory, Al-Nassr sits atop the Saudi Roshen League standings with 12 points, achieving a perfect record after winning their first four matches.
Al-Alamy is three points behind last season's title holder, Al-Ittihad, who finished second in the Roshen League standings.
