Al Nassr’s 4–0 demolition of FC Goa in the AFC Champions League Two on Wednesday night sparked a wave of excitement across social media, as fans celebrated the team’s dominant display even in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. Reports from SoftFootball confirmed that Ronaldo was rested for the fixture, yet his teammates rose to the occasion with a commanding win in Riyadh.
The result came just days after discussions on whether the Saudi giants rely too heavily on their star man. That topic, explored in detail by SoftFootball in a recent feature, seemed momentarily silenced by this emphatic performance.
Moments after the final whistle, fans flooded X with pride and playful banter. One fan, Wellness wins (@Bro_Code_x), shared a post highlighting Al Nassr’s strength in Ronaldo’s absence, writing with confidence:
Done still without the GOAT.
His intention was clear, as it was to celebrate the team’s ability to deliver results even without their legendary talisman.
Echoing similar sentiments, GoalZeit (@GoalZeit) praised the display, saying:
Awesome! even without the GOAT.
The phrase quickly trended among Al Nassr fans, capturing the joy of seeing new heroes step up. Meanwhile, Norman (@Normanhappened) added a cheeky twist to the narrative with:
No Penaldo no problem.
Other supporters also joined in, with McRICOSTAR (@UTDKingpin) predicting big things for the club’s future:
At this rate we are going with the league.
User Dro Fernández (@DroFernandez27) quipped:
No penalty, no Ronaldo.
While Sumi (@Sumivloglife) simply wrote:
Flying on high.
The consensus was clear — Al Nassr’s latest win proved that while Ronaldo remains their heartbeat, this team is far from a one-man show.
