Ronaldo is ‘better playmaker than Messi’ with ridiculous assist for Al Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo was labelled a better playmaker than Lionel Messi after his insane assist for Al Nassr.

Ronaldo took just one touch to send a curling through ball from inside his own half into the path of team-mate Abdulrahman Ghareeb, who gave Al Nassr a 1-0 lead in the match they won 2-1. And supporters were so impressed with Ronaldo's defence-splitting pass, they claimed not even Messi's capable of conjuring up the 38-year-old's wizardry.

Following Ronaldo's deft delivery, One fan beamed: "Call me crazy but he's a better playmaker than Messi." Another fan concurred: "That ain't crazy." Then a third user scoffed: "Wake me up when Messi does this." And a fourth supporter added: "This is bigger than what Messi did in the entire WC. My honest opinion."

Ronaldo's astonishing assist for Al Nassr comes after Messi failed to prevent his Paris Saint-Germain side from losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, in a game that saw two Kylian Mbappe goals ruled out for the French Champions. And it's the second time this month that fans have placed Ronaldo ahead of Messi in the ability rankings.

And Messi's jeweller, who wants to work with Ronaldo, also hailed the forward as the GOAT recently. But Ronaldo's latest run of performances has pulled him right back into the conversation.

The former Man United striker has finally found his feet after a stuttering start in Saudi Arabia. Just last month, fans dismissed him as finished following a slew of errors including a glaring open-goal miss.
