Ryanair took a sharp dig at Cristiano Ronaldo after the Al-Nassr star celebrated his Saudi Pro League title with a graphic focused almost entirely on himself.
Ronaldo finally won his first league title in Saudi Arabia after Al-Nassr beat Damac 4-1 on the final day, ending his long wait for major domestic silverware with the club.
The celebration should have been a simple title post, but Ryanair’s X account turned it into a viral joke by pointing out what many fans had already noticed about the graphic.
Ryanair mocks Cristiano Ronaldo celebration post after Al-Nassr Saudi Pro League title
Ryanair on X reacted to Cristiano Ronaldo’s post after Al-Nassr won the Saudi Pro League. They wrote: “Does he not have teammates?”
The joke came after Ronaldo posted a celebration graphic that featured multiple images of himself after Al-Nassr’s title win, rather than a wider team photo with his teammates or coach.
That made the post an easy target for Ryanair, whose social media account has built a reputation for sarcastic replies and quick digs at viral football moments.
Ronaldo had every reason to celebrate personally, because he scored twice in Al-Nassr’s 4-1 win over Damac as the club clinched the title and ended his wait for league glory in Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo title graphic divided fans after Al-Nassr team triumph
The reason Ryanair’s post landed was that Al-Nassr’s title was not only a Ronaldo story, even if he remained the biggest name attached to it.
Al-Nassr’s decisive win over Damac included a collective finish to the season, with Ronaldo’s brace helping seal the championship after a tense race near the top of the Saudi Pro League.
The title also marked Al-Nassr’s first Saudi Pro League triumph in seven years and Ronaldo’s first major trophy with the club since joining in 2023, which explains why his emotional reaction and personal celebration drew so much attention.
Still, fans criticized the graphic as self-centered because it appeared to present a team championship through only Ronaldo’s image, rather than highlighting the full squad that helped deliver the title.
Some defended him by arguing that superstar players often post personal celebration edits after major wins, especially when they have played a decisive role.
Ryanair’s dig worked because it cut straight to the awkward visual. Ronaldo won the SPL with Al-Nassr, but the graphic made it look like a one-man parade.
