Jorge Jesus Says Portugal Does Not Appreciate Ronaldo Like Saudi Arabia
Al-Hilal manager Jorge Jesus believes Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t get the recognition he deserves in Portugal compared to how he is celebrated in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo, now in his third season in the Saudi Pro League after leaving Manchester United in 2022, has been a dominant force for Al Nassr.
While he hasn’t secured any major trophies, he has led the goal charts and significantly boosted the league’s popularity.
Despite his impact, Al Nassr has struggled to win silverware, often falling short against strong rivals like Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad.
Jesus, who is also Portuguese, feels Ronaldo’s contributions are not fully appreciated back home.
He pointed out how Saudi Arabia embraced the football icon long before he even played there, highlighting how the country had already put him on billboards in major cities six years ago.
Speaking to Channel 11, Jesus said, “We were already friends in Portugal, and I saw him more often there than in Saudi Arabia. He’s a national pride, but in Portugal, they don’t value him as much for the image he brings.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.

Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
