Cristiano Ronaldo asked coach Luis Castro to let him play for 5 more minutes but did not help Al Nassr avoid a crushing defeat against Benfica.

Many fans look forward to the reunion between Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria, two players who were teammates at Real Madrid, when Al Nassr met Benfica in the framework of a series of pre-season friendly matches.

However, only Di Maria can show the qualities of a one-time star when scoring goals and contributing much to the overall play. Meanwhile, Ronaldo completely faded in 84 minutes on the field.

Asked to leave the field, Ronaldo begged for another 5 minutes

Even the Portuguese star made many people bored by his untimely aggression. In the 67th minute, when the score was 3-1 in favor of Benfica, BHL Al Nassr signaled for Ronaldo to leave the field as a substitute.

Instead of leaving the field at the request of coach Luis Castro, CR7 asked his countryman to give him another 5 minutes to kick. Instead of 5 minutes, Mr. Luis Castro let Ronaldo play until the 84th minute.

However, the 38-year-old striker could not help Al Nassr avoid defeat. In the end, the Saudi Arabian team lost with a score of 1-4 in the CR7 match.

This is the second consecutive match Al Nassr has lost in the 2023 summer tour since Ronaldo returned. Previously, the Middle Eastern team lost to Celta Vigo with a score of 0-5.

After the defeat against Benfica, Ronaldo and his teammates will march to Japan. Here, Al Nassr will play friendly matches against PSG and Inter Milan on July 25 and 27.

These are the last 2 friendlies of Al Nassr this summer. After that, Ronaldo and his teammates will attend the Arab Club Champions Cup (July 29).
