Cristiano Ronaldo had trouble getting to terms with Al-Nassr who collapsed from the AFC Champions League on Wednesday evening.
Ronaldo, 40, enjoyed another impressive season in Saudi Aarabia, with 33 goals in 37 games.
With Al-Nassr, however, in third place in the Saudi Pro League and from the King's Cup, their last realistic chance of silverware came in the continental competition.
Last night they came to the Japanese side Kawasaki in the semi -final and played a team with talent, including Ronaldo, Jhon Duran, Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic and Aymeric Laporte.
But despite the collection of 21 shots and 74 percent of the possession, she collapsed at a 3-2 defeat.
Their exit from the competition means that Ronaldo has picked up only one trophy since he arrived in the middle in December 2022.
Ronaldo missed a huge opportunity in the last seconds of the collision, because he made no contact with his efforts under pressure after completing the Kawasaki keeper.
And after their defeat, the 40-year-old was digestive in the center circle.
Ronaldo, who was alone, repeatedly shrugged his shoulders and even seemed to be a fight with himself.
The Portuguese superstar gestured with his hands and seemed to mutter something.
After a short period, Ronald put his hands on his hips and looked at heaven until he walked away.
Nevertheless, Ronaldo tried to stay cheerful after the game when he posted a message on social media.
“Sometimes the dream has to wait,” he said. 'I am proud of this team and everything we gave on the field.
'Thanks to all the fans who believed in us and stood with us at every step of the road. Your support means the world. '
Kawasaki will then be confronted with Al-Ahli, another Saudi side with a team full of high-profile foreign internationals, in the final on Saturday with both clubs who want to win their first continental crown.
The Japanese side, which needed extra time to beat Qatar's al-Sadd in the quarterfinals on Sunday, made an encouraging start of the Al-Nassr collision, while Marcinho Brozovic surpasses 35 meters from the goal before he shoots widely.
Four minutes later, the Shigetoshi Hasebe outfit had taken an unexpected lead.
Ozeki's only on the left found Marcinho and after the center of the attacker to the edge of the area was on his way by defender Mohamed Simakan, the unmarked Ito won a first volley in the upper corner to numb the Saudi fans.
Al-Nassr struggled to find their rhythm in the opening phase, a Jhon Duran-shot that flew high and wide after he was fed by Ronaldo in the 18th minute, was a rare view of Stefano Pioli's goal.
That changed when Mane equalized the scores, the former Liverpool man who benefited from a slight deflection of the shoulder of Yuichi Maruyama who took his shot past Kawasaki goalkeeper Louis Yamaguchi.
Ronaldo then rattled the frame of the goal with a header just after sending an overhead effort wide of the target when Al-Nassr started to control the procedure.
But with four minutes left in half, Kawasaki won the lead again due to the stubbornness of ITO, whose determined running the Al-Nassr defense ran restless. While Bento saved the shot from the winger, Ozeki quietly converted the rebound.
Their decisive third came 14 minutes after time after Erison drove past the Al-Nassr name rule to set up fellow replacement Ienaga to stop.
Yahya hit Al-Nassr's second in the 87th minute at home before Yamaguchi twice an increasingly desperate Ronaldo in injury time when Kawasaki claimed a famous victory.
