“Munir El Kajoui’s Heroic Saves Against Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabian Cup Semi-Finals”

It was a disappointed Cristiano Ronaldo who was eliminated on Monday in the semi-finals of the Saudi Arabian Cup. The fault of a Munir El Kajoui as insurmountable as it is disgusting.

This Monday, April 24, 2023, CR7 experienced a real nightmare against Munir. The Moroccan international (33 years old, 44 selections) has been on all the trajectories of the fivefold Ballon d’Or Portuguese. The goalkeeper multiplied the parades in front of the 38-year-old striker and allowed the Al-Wehda club to qualify for the final to the chagrin of his evening opponent, Al-Nasr (0-1). After eliminating Portugal and its star in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup with Morocco (as a substitute), Munir will therefore once again have played a nasty trick on the Lusitanian.

Munir says three times no!

First at the 11^e minute, when the 1.90m giant blocks the point-blank shot from n°7 with his abdomen, forgotten by the defenders. He did it again in the second half. This time, by pushing back with an exceptional reflex stop the ball which took the direction of the small net (46^e). And it wasn’t over. At the end of additional time, the former Malaga goalkeeper donated his body to counter a CR7 suspended in the air and preserve the score in favor of his team (90^e+7), yet reduced to ten after the expulsion of Abdullah Al-Hafith (53^e).

With his clean sheet remaining, the native of Melilla (Spain) thus brings his total of clean sheets to five this season in 18 appearances in all competitions. A heroic feat that allows the Mecca club to get a little closer to the coronation, while in the opposite camp, the captain – Cristiano Ronaldo – looks bad.
