Turki Al-Sheikh, the Saudi Chairman of the General Authority of Entertainment, revealed Cristiano Ronaldo's self-assured statement to Jorge Jesus before ‌ the Al Nassr vs Al Hilal match in the Riyadh Season Cup. Al-Sheikh set up a meeting between Al Hilal's coach Jesus and Al Nassr's striker Ronaldo ahead of their matchup in the Riyadh Season Cup on Thursday, February 8. Al-Sheikh said, after considering the exchange (as cited by CristianoXtra on X):

“In my meeting with Jorge Jesus and Cristiano, Jesus said, ‘We will win against Al Nassr with 3 goals'. Cristiano responded by saying, 'In the PlayStation, you will win by 3'.”

When Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal met in the Arab Cup of Champions final earlier this season last year, the Knights of Najd prevailed 2-1, mostly due to an incredible brace from Cristiano Ronaldo, who went on to win his first trophy with his Middle East club. Nevertheless, Jorge Jesus' team defeated Al Nassr 3-0 in their last meeting in the Saudi Pro League earlier in the season.

Regarding Ronaldo, he is presently recuperating from an injury to his calf. The Portugal captain, who missed the team's previous game against Inter Miami, is finally healthy and prepared to face Al-Hilal. In their most recent match, on February 1, Al-Nassr easily defeated Inter Miami 6-0, while on January 29, Al-Hilal defeated the Lionel Messi-led team by a slim margin of 4-3.
