The five-time Ballon d'Or winner had a rather dismal 2022 after his exile from Erik ten Hag's Manchester United and his famous no-show at the Qatar World Cup as he ended up with just one goal. The Real Madrid legend has enjoyed his career so far with the Saudi club having already won some silverware with them in the form of the Arab Club Champions Cup.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Portuguese will return to action when Al-Nassr take on Al-Weiha in the AFC Champions League Round of 16 on February 12.
