Ronaldo’s 41st Birthday Crisis: A "Rebellion" Shakes Al-Nassr and Saudi Pro League
From Celebration to Sabotage? The Untold Story Behind Cristiano’s Second Consecutive Absence.
What was supposed to be a week of celebration for **Cristiano Ronaldo’s 41st birthday** has rapidly devolved into a high-stakes "rebellion." The Portuguese legend has officially missed his second consecutive match for **Al-Nassr**, sparking a wave of controversy that threatens the stability of the **Roshn Saudi League (RSL)**.
The "Silent Strike" and Market Frustrations
After being a shock absentee against Al-Riyadh last Sunday, Ronaldo has once again been left out of the squad for today’s massive "Clasico" against **Al-Ittihad**. While fans expected a technical rest, reports from renowned sources like **Fabrizio Romano** and **A Bola** suggest a deliberate protest against what the player perceives as "unfair bias" in marquee signing distributions—specifically highlighting the move of **Karim Benzema** to Al-Hilal.

The situation became even more confusing for fans when Ronaldo shared a photo of himself back in training this Wednesday (seen above). However, his confirmed absence from the Al-Ittihad match squad today proves that the "training post" was merely a calm before the storm, and the internal crisis is far from over.
The League Strikes Back: "Equality Above Stardom"
In a firm response published by the **BBC**, a spokesperson for the Saudi Pro League addressed the "rebellion." The official drew a clear line between global fame and the league's independent regulations:
"No one—regardless of their fame—has the authority to dictate decisions outside their club walls," the spokesperson stated.
He emphasized that the financial framework is designed to ensure competitive balance and sustainability, applying to every club without exception.
While praising Ronaldo's historic commitment, the league's message was firm: the system will not yield to individual demands. The statement concluded with a cryptic warning: "Everything is still possible."
The Beginning of the End?
As the "Madeira Rocket" reaches the age of 41, this current strike could mark a turning point. Will Ronaldo adapt to the league's firm regulations, or is this the final chapter of his journey in the Kingdom? The coming days will reveal the fate of the world's most followed athlete.
