Al Nassr coach Jorge Jesus has acknowledged his team's financial limitations compared to rivals Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. Speaking after Saturday's 2-0 victory over Al-Fateh, Jesus highlighted the disparity in resources between the clubs, noting that Al Hilal's greater economic power has allowed them to secure top talent like Karim Benzema.

Jesus, who previously coached Al Hilal to multiple titles in 2024, understands the challenge firsthand. His comments come amid Cristiano Ronaldo's recent protest over Al Nassr's lack of financial support from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund during the transfer window. The Portuguese superstar had missed two league games before returning to score within 18 minutes of his comeback.

Despite the financial gap, Al Nassr sits second in the standings, just one point behind leaders Al Hilal. The team has dramatically improved their position compared to previous seasons when they finished 16-14 points behind the leaders. With Ronaldo leading the scoring charts and Jesus implementing strategic changes, Al Nassr is mounting a serious title challenge. The Portuguese coach emphasized confidence in the club's structure and ability to compete despite limited resources.
