After scoring 2 goals in his start against PSG, Cristiano Ronaldo endured a dry spell in his proper Saudi Pro League debut. He couldn’t score in the first 2 matches for his new outfit which even got his team eliminated from the Saudi Cup. In his second stint for Manchester United, he scored 0.57 goals in every 90 mins. Ho9wever, with the sole goal in his last match, Ronaldo’s stat looks like 0.33 goals per 90 mins for Al Nassr. In a league that was supposed to be a piece of cake for him, he has had a long time to fire. His shots per match was 4.2 in his second United stint while for his new club he has had 4.00 shots per match. He had 1.51 shots on target in United while in Saudi it has come down to 1.00. He, however, is still yet to provide an assist in this league.
