Five Champions League winners fell into the 2nd AFC Champions League! Indian players called out Ronaldo: I hope to win Riyadh

Beijing Guoan, the biggest favorite to win the championship, will play in the second division of the AFC Champions League this time. There is also a top giant, the Saudi United giant Riyadh led by Ronaldo.

As one of the peerless two prides in football, Ronaldo has repeatedly emphasized: I am the number one in football history!

There is nothing wrong with this. When it comes to the World Cup champion and the number of times he won the Golden Ball (including World Footballer), Ronaldo is definitely not as good as Messi. But in addition to these, Ronaldo is indeed worthy of being the first in football history in many aspects. Ronaldo is indeed the first in football history in his career, the number of goals scored by the national team, the number of consecutive competitions (World Cup, European Cup, and the European League).

Ronaldo's annual salary for victory in Riyadh is as high as 200 million euros (or maybe US dollars), which is also the world's number one.

The 2022 World Cup defeat, and after entering the second place, Manchester United also became from an absolute main player to not in the Tenhah plan. The giants in the five major leagues were not interested in him. So, Ronaldo made an amazing move: joining Saudi United team Riyadh to win, and win a salary of world number one and first in football history.

During his time at Saudi United, Ronaldo still scored a lot of goals, both in the club and the national team, he is the number one scorer in the team. The only regret of Ronaldo's career may be that he is still missing a World Cup championship. In the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup next year, Ronaldo will definitely play, and may still be the core of the Portuguese national team's forward line, but Portugal's hope for winning the championship is not high.

Royce currently needs to do is to win a championship trophy in his winning career in Riyadh. It has been almost three years since he joined Riyadh after the end of the 2022 World Cup. He has played with the team in Saudi Arabia, the AFC Champions League, and the Sand Crown, but has not won a single championship. In the European League, where the strong teams are everywhere, Ronaldo won the championship for the second time. This is really evil.

Last season, Saudi United ranked third in victory, which was one more place than the previous season's results. Ronaldo, who won the Champions League five times, can only play in the second division of the AFC Champions League like Beijing Guoan this season.

After the Indian team Goa successfully advanced to the group stage of the AFC Champions League 2, player Brisson Fernandez said that he hopes to win Riyadh with Ronaldo in the group stage. "We all want to know how great it will be to play against a player of Ronaldo's level. I am a loyal fan of Ronaldo, and it will be a dream to compete with Ronaldo."

If Riyadh Crescent will be the absolute overlord of the AFC Champions League Elite League, the number one favorite to win the championship. Then in the second division of the AFC Champions League, Riyadh victory stands out and can almost lock in the championship trophy. The second-tier AFC Champions League champion is also a champion, so Ronaldo will end his winning career championship drought in Riyadh.

Ronaldo also expressed his ambition to win the AFC Champions League II championship. "The AFC Champions League 2 is also the honor I want to win for the club. I will continue to promote and help Riyadh win the championship. I believe that this season will be a bumper season for the victory of Riyadh."

It is worth mentioning that Wei Shihao, who was once known as the "national youth Ronaldo", will participate in the AFC Champions League Elite League with Chengdu Rongcheng this season, and he will definitely not be able to compete with Ronaldo in the same game. Wei Shihao wrote on social media: For Chengdu! Top of Asia! BEST FANS (Best Fans)!
