Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr was thrashed by La Liga side Celta Vigo 5-0 in a pre-season clash. It was Ronaldo’s first game for the club this season. The match was also held in his native Portugal. The striker played the full first half, where the score ended 0-0. The club’s new signing, Marcelo Brozovic, also played for 54 minutes.

However, after both of them were subbed off, the game turned chaotic. Center back Al-Amri was sent off, which reduced them to 10 men. Within the last 45 minutes, Celta Vigo managed to bag five goals, obliterating the Saudi side’s defense.

It was a catastrophic result for the team, and they would be hoping to do better in their next game against Benfica. After the loss, the club identified that they needed defensive reinforcements due to which they have signed Manchester United’s Alex Telles.
