Elon Musk Congratulates Ronaldo in AFC Champions League Performance: Elon Musk had fun with fans by reacting to the clinical performance of Cristiano Ronaldo in Al Nassr’s AFC Champions League game against Al-Gharafa Football Club, where they won 3-1. The revered Portuguese star came from the bench to score two goals and played a pivotal role in the win that has continued to steer Al-Nassr’s mission.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Al Gharafa struggled most of the match, as Ronaldo’s team took control of most of the events. In the last six minutes, after getting a red card, Ronaldo’s team reduced Al Gharafa to nine men. The 39-year-old shared celebratory pictures with X (formerly Twitter), posting, “Big win tonight!” Musk, the owner of Tesla and X, responded affably by typing, “Congrats!”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite suffering in the Saudi Pro League, where Al Nassr is now 8 points behind table leaders Al Ittihad and 6 points behind the current defending champions Al Hilal, they are formidable in the AFC Champions League. In the competition, the team has played five matches and has lost only one match, and this victory augurs well for the team.

Al Nassr, third in the King’s League, is set to be back in domestic league action on Friday, hosting Damac. The team will hunt down the leaders and further cement its recent good run of form. Ronaldo is still the personal performance reference as the team progresses in domestic and international leagues.
