Ronaldo has struggled throughout the past year. Under Erik ten Hag, he was sitting on the bench and only managed 3 goals in 16 outings. During the FIFA World Cup, his poor form continued and he only managed a single goal in his 5 games.
He has seemed to found to his touch slightly again as he has moved to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. He has notched back-to-back hat-tricks as well. But for a lot of people, his career at the top level was done when he moved to the Middle East.
