The Saudi Pro League side had experienced a disappointing tour in Portugal, suffering a 9-1 aggregate defeat across two matches against Celta Vigo and Benfica, Mundo Deportivo reports.

However, upon their return to Asia, the Riyadh-based giants showed significant improvement in their performance against PSG, who had excluded Kylian Mbappe from pre-season preparations.

Despite his efforts, Ronaldo was unable to find the back of the net in three pre-season matches, and he was withdrawn from the game six minutes after the hour mark.

Nonetheless, his attempt at the bicycle kick brought back memories of his extraordinary goal-scoring abilities.

In a related publication, Sports Brief reported that Ronaldo expressed a desire to win silverware with Al-Nassr in the upcoming campaign.

Last season, they came close to clinching the Saudi Pro League title but narrowly missed out to Al-Ittihad, despite leading at one point.

However, the 38-year-old appears to have put that disappointment behind him, remaining confident in leading the team to victory.
