This Friday local time, Al Nassr officially unveiled the new away kit (the second kit). The club's official social media then shared a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the new uniform.

Due to imprecise wording, the original caption "The second. On the greatest 🐐" was intended to mean "the second kit worn by the greatest of all time," but the phrase "The second" was misinterpreted by many users as "second-best," causing the entire message to be read as "he is second among the greatest players of all time"—a misunderstanding that sparked an enormous wave of comments and retweets.

To clear up the confusion and reaffirm their official position, Al Nassr's official account updated their feed shortly after. They posted a photo of Ronaldo's away kit hanging in the locker room with the following caption: "English 101: 📚 Whether First or Second kit, he's the greatest of all time."

Though Al Nassr swiftly intervened to "clarify the misunderstanding" and show support for their star player, the comments section of the post remained filled with playful banter and meme wars among various fans.
