Al-Nassr manager Rudi Garcia was happy with Ronaldo’s performance on his debut and even told his players to pass to the forward more.

“I told the players they need to make the right choices on the pitch,” Garcia said.

“Obviously Cristiano Ronaldo is asking for the ball and we have to give him the ball because he’s the player who can make the difference.

“We need to work a lot on the positions of everyone. Sometimes we had crosses but not enough people in the box. We need to work on that.”
