Ronaldo still far from a trophy in Saudi Arabia as Al Hilal keep on rolling – even with Neymar back

Al Hilal have won their last five league games, with Ronaldo's Al Nassr having won just twice in the same period.

Cristiano Ronaldo's wait for a first trophy in Saudi Arabia goes on, with his Al Nassr side losing ground in the Saudi Pro League title race after a 3-1 defeat to Al Ittihad on Thursday.

Ronaldo has now failed to score in three of his last four league games, and Al Nassr have won just twice in their last five matches.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal have won their last five league games, and now lead the standings by three points from Al Shabab, who have a game in hand.

Al Hilal's recent good form has coincided with the return of Brazilian superstar Neymar, who missed the first half of the season through injury.

Neymar has scored three goals in his last two games, and his presence has clearly boosted Al Hilal's attacking threat.

Ronaldo will be hoping to rediscover his goalscoring form soon, but he will need to do it quickly if Al Nassr are to have any chance of catching Al Hilal in the title race.

Ronaldo's struggles in Saudi Arabia

Ronaldo's move to Saudi Arabia was met with surprise by many, and he has struggled to live up to expectations so far.

The Portuguese superstar has scored just five goals in 10 league games, and has failed to score in any of his last three matches.

Al Nassr have also struggled as a team, winning just five of their last 10 league matches.

Ronaldo will be hoping to turn things around soon, but he will need to start scoring goals on a regular basis if he is to help his team challenge for the title.

Al Hilal's title charge

Al Hilal are the current champions of Saudi Arabia, and they are looking to defend their title this season.

The Riyadh-based club have won their last five league games, and they now lead the standings by three points from Al Shabab.

Al Hilal's recent good form has been boosted by the return of Neymar, who has scored three goals in his last two games.

The Brazilian superstar is one of the best players in the world, and his presence has given Al Hilal a major boost.

Al Hilal will be confident of winning the title this season, and they will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table when they face Al Taawoun on Monday.
