The Premier League title will go either to Manchester City or Arsenal. With less than 24 hours to go to crown the champion, Man City are leading the race by two points. Arsenal, despite trailing on the final matchday, can still get their hands on the trophy with a win against Everton while also hoping for City to drop points.

While fans of the League debate as to who’ll lift the trophy on the 19th of May, former Premier League star and Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo shared his take on the same.

The Al-Nassr captain had ringside seats for the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk . When asked whether Arsenal will lift the Premier League title, Ronaldo’s response turned heads. In the most blunt way possible, Ronaldo laughed at the suggestion and dismissed any chances of their victory.

They? They're not gonna win the League. Cristiano Ronaldo’s reply to Arsenal’s chances of winning the League.

Seated beside Anthony Joshua, the Portuguese star sported a £1.2 million watch and arrived for the event in his £400k worth Ferrari. The Al-Nassr captain also linked up with Neymar Jr. at the event.

Al-Hilal remain unbeaten as Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘missed’ chances prove costly

Al-Nassr hosted Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal as the Faris Najd attempted to put an end to their rivals’ unbeaten run in the competition. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo and co.’s best efforts, Al-Hilal have run away with the League once again.

After being red-carded in an earlier game, Ronaldo struggled to find the net. The game between the two on Friday night however, was an extremely close affair.

The hosts took the lead through Otavio, when Ronaldo found him unmarked on the edge of the box. His bullet strike found its way to the top right corner as the scoreboard read 1-0 within a minute of kick-off.

Ronaldo then proceeded to miss a golden chance to double his side’s lead from a thunderous volley. It was proving to be a bad night for the No.7 as he went on to mishit what would’ve been an easy tap-in from point black range.

Then came a chance in the 79th minute when the entire crowd thought that Ronaldo would make it 2-0. A heavy touch and an unconvincing shot from close range wasn’t enough to beat the talented Yassine Bounou. All of Ronaldo’s missed chances came back to haunt him as Aleksandar Mitrović fired home a penalty received in stoppage time.
