Recall we reported that Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 13th Saudi Pro League goal of the season as Al Nassr defeated Al Wehda 3-1 to cut the gap on table-toppers Al Hilal to four points.

While the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has been in superb form this season, he has done so away from the attention of a large European audience.

However, this may not be the case for long. According to Saudi writer AlHarbi44 on X, UEFA is considering admitting Al Nassr to the Champions League in 2024/2025.

According to the writer, this is because Al Nassr is one of the "three most famous clubs in the world" and has "great popularity" among European followers.

Indeed, Cristiano Ronaldo is perhaps the best player in Champions League history and would welcome Al Nassr's participation in the competition.



With five Champions League titles under his belt, Cristiano Ronaldo is the player with the most appearances in the competition and goals (140).

When it comes to Ronaldo's records in Europe's top competition, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Ronaldo, who has been named Champions League leading scorer on seven different occasions, has also scored 67 goals in the tournament's knockout phases, three finals, and is the only player to have scored in eleven consecutive Champions League games.

The Champions League group stage will be eliminated next season, and instead, 36 teams will compete in a single league table.

The top eight from the final table will advance directly to the round of 16, while those ranked ninth to 24th will compete in a playoff for the remaining eight spots in the round of 16.
