Tomorrow at 21:45, in the third round of Group D of the AFC Champions League, Riyadh Victory will play away to the Indian team Goa. Pre-match news has been confirmed that Ronaldo will not go to India to participate in this game.

The Indian media "India Today" revealed that despite repeated requests from the Indian club, Ronaldo ultimately decided not to participate in this round of the AFC Champions League away from home.

Indian media pointed out that Messi had previously announced that he would start a tour of India in December. However, Ronaldo's absence this time caused Indian fans to miss the opportunity to watch two world football superstars live in their home country in the same year.

India TV reported that the Riyadh Victory coaching staff made 40-year-old Ronaldo miss the game in order to manage his game time. Ronaldo is currently focusing on participating in next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico and making football history. Team coach Jorge Jesus is working to ensure his fitness to help him achieve his long-term goals.
