This is what is called trolling the opponent. This Tuesday afternoon, Al Nassr qualified for the final of the Saudi Arabian Supercup, overcoming Al-Ittihad (2-1) in the semi-finals. A meeting during which Cristiano Ronaldo distinguished himself, being a decisive passer on the goal of the victory signed Joaoo Félix (61st). A great victory for the men of Jorge Jesus.
Especially since they were reduced to ten from the 25th minute after the red card of Sadio Mané, yet the first scorer of the meeting (10th). If Steven Bergwijn had equalized in almost instantly (16th), that was not enough for Karim Benzema and his troops, who will not lift a new trophy after winning the championship and the past season.

I don’t know if it’s a challenge; It is not Benzema against Ronaldo. It is not a karim match against Cristiano, no.”

We will see what will happen on the field tomorrow“He said on the sidelines of this shock.
