Al-Nassr goalkeeper David Ospina spoke highly about Cristiano Ronaldo following the team's 6-0 Saudi Pro League win against Al-Wehda on Saturday, May 4.

Ronaldo was at his devastating best in front of the goal during the match. He scored a perfect hat-trick in a dazzling performance. Former Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina lavished praise on the Portuguese superstar, saying (via Al Nassr Zone on X):

"Cristiano, what a guy! A hard worker, a winner. It's a real pleasure to have him as a friend and as a leader of the group."

Waleed Abdullah issues Cristiano Ronaldo warning

Al-Nassr goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon. The Portuguese superstar, despite being 39, has been performing at the highest level.

Abdullah has claimed that Ronaldo will continue putting on high-quality displays in the near future. He said (via GOATTWorld on X):

"Ronaldo won't stop. Ronaldo has a challenge coming."

While Ronaldo has been performing at a high level, Al-Nassr's chances of winning the SPL are slim to none. The Knights of Najd are second in the league table with 74 points from 30 matches. They trail league leaders Al-Hilal by nine points having played one game more.

Al-Nassr, however, have reached the King Cup of Champions final where they will play Al-Hilal.
