In a surprising turn of events, tech mogul Elon Musk took to social media to congratulate football legend Cristiano Ronaldo after his stunning performance in Al-Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League.
Al-Nassr Triumphs Over Al-Gharafa in AFC Champions League
The game, which saw Al-Nassr securing an impressive 3-1 win, was marked by Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical brace. The 39-year-old striker netted two goals, helping his team secure the three points. Al-Gharafa, who finished the match with only 10 men after a late red card, struggled to contain Ronaldo’s attacking prowess.
After the match, Ronaldo shared several photos on his social media, celebrating the victory. The football superstar expressed his delight by posting, “Big win tonight!” However, what truly caught fans’ attention was the reaction from none other than Tesla and X owner Elon Musk. Musk, known for his unpredictable and often humorous social media presence, commented on Ronaldo’s post with a simple but enthusiastic “Congrats!”

The interaction between Musk and Ronaldo delighted fans, with many seeing it as a sign of mutual admiration. Musk’s comment added an unexpected touch to the post-match celebrations, bringing even more attention to the already high-profile clash between Al-Nassr and Al-Gharafa.
Al-Nassr’s Confidence Boost
While Al-Nassr has faced challenges in the Saudi Pro League this season, sitting behind top teams like Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, their AFC Champions League campaign has been much more successful. With four wins from five matches in the tournament, this victory is seen as a significant morale booster for the team. Al-Nassr, currently third in the league, will look to carry this momentum into their next domestic match against Damac.
As the team prepares for their upcoming league fixture, Ronaldo’s focus will undoubtedly remain on leading Al-Nassr back to the top of both the AFC Champions League and the Saudi Pro League.
