Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix played as Al-Nassr suffered a defeat to Portuguese minnows Estrela da Amadora in a behind-closed-doors friendly.
Joao Felix's move to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr has sparked criticism from his former Atletico Madrid team-mate Saul Niguez, who claims that the Portuguese forward has failed to maximise his potential due to a lack of hard work. Saul insists talent is "worthless" without the work ethic to back it up, and has revealed that "many of us tried to help" Felix during his turbulent years in Europe.
Joao Felix has been warned by Jorge Jesus that he must 'prepare better' if he is to return to his peak form after an underwhelming debut for Al-Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy time and expectations as he marked his latest appearance for Al Nassr with a crucial goal, proving yet again that age is just a number. In a pre-season encounter against French side Toulouse FC at the Untersberg-Arena, the Portuguese icon demonstrated his enduring quality by notching the equalizer during the first half of the match.
Chelsea fans were relieved to see Joao Felix finally leave the club as the Portuguese striker completed a permanent transfer to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. Felix permanently signed for the Blues last summer, but his journey at Stamford Bridge was shortlived as he was shipped off to AC Milan on loan for the second half of the 2024-25 campaign.
New footage has emerged of Joao Felix training with Al-Nassr, despite still technically being a Chelsea player.
Joao Felix's next chapter comes with an enormous financial incentive in Saudi Arabia with the forward more than doubling his Chelsea salary.
Joao Felix has been heavily criticised for agreeing to join Al-Nassr from Chelsea, with an agent labelling the attacker a "money-printing machine".
