In the wake of Al Nassr’s Arab Cup victory, Alejandro Garnacho had some strong words for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo is ecstatic after leading Al Nassr to victory in Saudi Arabia.
After controversially leaving Manchester United in the fall of 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo had to witness the Red Devils win the Carabao Cup without him a few weeks later.
His Al Nassr team also failed to win the league championship, but they started making amends by winning the Arab Cup this past weekend.
Ronaldo scored twice to assist Al Nassr win the final against Al Hilal, one in regulation and the game-winner in overtime.
Cristiano Ronaldo triumphs once more.
Manchester United knows from experience that Cristiano Ronaldo is a natural champion. His decision to relocate to Saudi Arabia was met with criticism at the time, but after a few months had passed, the country had attracted many high-profile figures.
He is now partners with Sadio Mane, and the two of them led Al Nassr to the Arab Cup, which is a lot like the World Cup.
Ronaldo has won many major trophies throughout his career, so this one may seem small in comparison. However, it is still a great deal for him to win a trophy for the first time in Saudi Arabia at the age of 38.
He wrote that he was “extremely proud” to have won the award and that it was a “important” accomplishment.
See what Instagram users thought about Cristiano Ronaldo’s victory.
A few of Cristiano Ronaldo’s former Manchester United teammates ‘liked’ his Instagram post because they still hold him in high regard as a legend of the sport.
Many notable players were among them, such as Nani, Antony, Jesse Lingard, Eric Bailly, and Federico Macheda. Then, Manchester United’s up-and-coming star Alejandro Garnacho sent a message.
The 19-year-old Garnacho simply thanked Ronaldo for being a “inspiration” and included an emoji of a trophy to the message.
Many are placing their hopes on Garnacho having a Ronaldo-like breakthrough season for Manchester United, and they believe that the youngster will be further inspired by Ronaldo’s success.
Last year, Garnacho played on the same team as Ronaldo, and the Portugal superstar assisted on Garnacho’s first professional goal.
In addition, Alex Telles takes home the prize.
Newly acquired defender Alex Telles from Manchester United celebrated with Cristiano Ronaldo by hoisting a trophy.
Telles, who left Manchester United last month, started for Al Nassr in their win of the Arab Cup.
Telles, who spent the last months of last season on loan at Sevilla, has now won two trophies in as many years.
