A Moroccan girl is gaining worldwide attention once again following a humiliating defeat for Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in the Saudi Arabian 'El Clasico' against Al Hilal on December 1st.
Ronaldo, despite recovering from a neck injury sustained in the AFC Champions League last week, was cleared to participate in the game.
Unfortunately, the outcome did not align with the expectations of the 38-year-old and the Al-Nassr fans.
Al Hilal emerged victorious with an impressive 3-0 win against their rivals, thanks to a remarkable hat trick from Alexandro Mitrovic. The win widened the points gap on the table between the two teams from 4 to 7, per Sports Illustrated.
