Cristiano Ronaldo hit with brutal EA FC downgrade after skying last-minute penalty for Al-Nassr

Arabian Gulf League

Al-Ain

Al-Nasr SC

Saudi Pro League

Al Nassr FC

Al Qadasiya

<p>Al-Nassr were <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-misses-penalty-al-nassr-crash-out-of-kings-cup-cr7-beaten-by-al-taawoun/bltd0ba88a55bc44874#cs124791b772880745" target="_blank">dumped out of the King Cup of Champions by Al-Taawoun</a> after a horror display by Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. The Portuguese superstar did have a golden chance to equalise in stoppage-time but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-defiant-message-al-nassr-fans-blasting-stoppage-time-penalty-over-stefano-pioli-crash-out-king-cup-of-champions/blt27d5b095427d6faa#cse848f49301213ccb" target="_blank">blazed his penalty over the crossbar</a>. Ronaldo is known for his set-piece ability but his failure from the spot does appear to have had ramifications. The 39-year-old's <a href="https://sofifa.com/player/20801/c-ronaldo-dos-santos-aveiro/250009/?attr=fut" target="_blank">EA FC penalty rating</a> has since dropped by three points to 87 in the wake of his latest miss.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ronaldo did react to his miss, and Al-Nassr's defeat, with a post on social media that read: "Every challenge is an opportunity to grow." Yet <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-flops-al-hilal-wastes-chances-al-nassr-surrender-lead-to-draw-saudi-pro-league-title/blt67addfe3fc284cbc" target="_blank">Ronaldo struggled to impress again</a> in the big Saudi Pro League clash with champions Al-Hilal, which ended in a 1-1 draw, before finally returning to the scoresheet last time out in a 5-1 win over Al-Ain. The victory means <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-nightmare-struggling-make-impact-saudi-season-off-rails/blt66fcb371d93686e8" target="_blank">Al-Nassr currently sit fourth in the table</a>  but are eight points off leaders Al-Ittihad, albeit with a game in hand.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ronaldo's penalty miss was his first in Al-Nassr colours. He had scored on his previous 18 attempts for the Saudi side.</p><p><strong></strong></p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Al-Nassr are back in Saudi Pro League action on Friday against Al-Riyadh. Ronaldo is then set to link up with the Portugal squad for Nations League fixtures against Poland and Croatia.</p>
