5:1, but it embarrassed Ronaldo! The younger brother in the team stole the spotlight, the data was great, and the three consecutive golden boots may be in vain.

After leading the team to a 5:1 victory over Al-Hasa, Cristiano Ronaldo's Riyadh team has shown its championship appearance in the first five rounds of the new season. At present, the team has maintained a complete victory after five rounds of league games, ranking first in the league with 15 points. Their main rivals in the first two seasons, Riyadh Crescent and Jeddah United, ranked second and third with 11 points and 10 points respectively. Considering their current uneven lineup and mediocre form, Riyadh is getting closer and closer to the league championship this season.

To a certain extent, Riyadh’s reinforcements at all costs during the offseason finally paid off. After introducing strikers such as Felix and Kingsley Coman respectively, Riyadh Victory can be said to be like a duck in water on the offensive end at this stage. They are able to score big scores in every game. Not long ago, they faced the championship rivals Jeddah United and easily defeated their opponents 2:0. If it weren't for the forward players' poor ability to seize opportunities, there would still be hope for a bigger score.

At the same time, the team's defense also hired Igoni Martinez from Barcelona. The arrival of this defense star directly transformed Riyadh's victory. In the past, they had a very luxurious striker, but their midfield and backfield always collapsed when they faced off against strong teams. This makes Riyadh's victory often pierced by opponents, and it is difficult to win if there are too many goals. But the arrival of Igoni Martinez changed everything. The player's competition experience in European giants, as well as his defensive ability and awareness have all helped the team. This leaves Riyadh Victory with no shortcomings in its current lineup. It is no exaggeration to say that the team performed too poorly last season and did not qualify for the AFC Champions League.

If Riyadh wins and qualifies for the AFC Champions League this season, there may be hope of competing for the AFC Champions League trophy. However, the team's performance has indeed improved, but there are still some minor worries for their star player, Ronaldo. Before the start of the season, the Portuguese superstar stated in an interview that he hoped to achieve three consecutive league golden boots. In the first two seasons, Ronaldo was the league's golden boot. In the third season, he naturally hopes to complete three consecutive achievements.

At that time, the outside world believed that Lacazette, Retegui, Nunez signed by other teams, and Benzema of Jeddah United were his main competitors. After all, some of these stars are still in their prime, and Ronaldo is a 41-year-old veteran after all. Unexpectedly, after the start of the new season, these players performed very averagely. On the contrary, Ronaldo's own teammate Felix showed a fiery state. After five league rounds, Felix topped the league's top scorer list with 8 goals. Ronaldo ranks second in the league with 5 goals, which is indeed an exaggeration.

And Felix just completed a hat trick in this round, and his condition has been very hot. If this momentum continues, if Ronaldo wants to win the Golden Boot in the new league season, his biggest competitor will turn out to be his younger brother in the national team. This was something that the outside world did not expect before the start of the season. You know, Felix is ​​more physically fit than Ronaldo at this stage. In the long season, his attendance can be guaranteed. There are many weak teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Saudi league. For Felix, he can easily score goals. Ronaldo has no way to keep consuming him, although he has the team's penalty kick rights in hand. But in the middle and late stages of the season, in order to ensure that he has sufficient physical fitness for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, he will inevitably make some choices.

After individual rounds of rest, it will basically be declared that he has failed in the battle for the Golden Boot. It can be said that Ronaldo's dream of winning three consecutive Golden Boots this season has become more distant. Unless Ronaldo competes with Felix in an all-round way, it will be very difficult. So in your opinion, who will win the Saudi Arabian League Golden Boot this season? Welcome to discuss in the comment area.
