On 13 May 2026 GMT+7, Thierry Henry, the famous French legendary striker, spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese forward, and his reaction after Al Nassr, his club, was shockingly pegged back by Al Hilal in the final seconds of stoppage time.
The match took place last night, with Al Nassr, the league leaders featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, hosting second-placed Al Hilal. If Al Nassr had won, they would have secured the championship immediately. Everything seemed to be going well as they led 1-0 thanks to a goal by Mohamed Simakan.
However, in the 90+8 minute of stoppage time, Al Hilal threw the ball in from the right side. The long throw came into the penalty area where Al Nassr's goalkeeper Bento attempted to punch the ball away but misjudged it, resulting in an unfortunate own goal. The game ended 1-1, with cameras capturing Ronaldo's visible disappointment.
Recently, Thierry Henry spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo, saying, “Many see Cristiano Ronaldo as just chasing records, but what I see is a player still focused on winning. He has achieved everything in Europe, yet he still seeks success in Saudi Arabia. His hunger for victory remains the same as twenty years ago.”
“He is one of the most dedicated athletes in modern football history. Wherever he plays or whatever critics say, his attitude has defined his entire career path and continues to inspire new players worldwide.”
