The win, reported by SoftFootball, highlighted goals from João Félix, Mohamed Simakan, Sadio Mané, and Ayman Yahya as Stefano Pioli’s side advanced comfortably to the round of 16.

It continued a run of dominant group-stage results, including their earlier 4-0 win over FC Goa. Supporters online reacted to the performance with a mix of pride, curiosity, and high expectations for the 2025–26 campaign. Many fans focused on the team’s cohesion and how they achieved a perfect run without relying heavily on Cristiano Ronaldo.

रोशनदान روشندان (@raushanyaduvans) wanted to emphasise that the scoreline reflected more than just technical superiority. He hoped to praise the unity shown by the players across all five matches.

He wrote:

Wow, this win is the best example of incredible team effort.

Bapi Birbanshi (@Bapi26986) shifted attention to the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. His intention was not to criticise the squad but simply to express curiosity about why the team’s biggest star did not feature in such an important fixture.

He asked plainly:

Where is cr7.

Destiny_unleashed (@destiny_unl) used the moment to stress ambition, making it clear that qualification should be only the first step. His message was a call to aim higher and push the club towards continental glory.

He wrote:

Let’s take this trophy at least.

Questions about Ronaldo’s involvement appeared again from ÀDÌGÚN (@Salahudeen2604). He seemed concerned about squad selection and hinted that he believes the team performs better with Ronaldo on the pitch.

He asked:

Why are you not using Ronaldo.

Not every comment focused on the lineup. Rehana Munir (@rehanamunir12) wanted to celebrate the rhythm and consistency Al Nassr have shown from the start of the competition. Her intention was to highlight their perfect record and growing momentum.

She posted:

Unstoppable. 5 wins in 5 games. Al Nassr is on fire!

The individual brilliance of João Félix also caught attention. 𝐊𝐀𝐈 (@Ka_tty06) who has been following the Portuguese forward closely, wanted to appreciate how effective and confident he has looked in recent matches.

She wrote:

Felix just unlock is full potential.

As Al Nassr shift focus back to their domestic schedule while preparing for the 2026 knockouts, the reaction from supporters shows clear belief in the project. Whether praising the perfect run or questioning tactical choices, fans agree on one thing: the club is building something strong, and expectations are rising with every win.
