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

Due to unclear caption wording, the original English caption "The second. On the greatest 🐐" was intended to mean "the second kit worn by the greatest of all time," but many netizens misinterpreted "The second" as "second-best/inferior," leading to the entire sentence being understood as "among the greatest of all time, he ranks second," which triggered an overwhelming wave of comments and shares.

To eliminate ambiguity and reaffirm its official stance, Al-Nassr reposted shortly after. They shared a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo's away kit hanging in the dressing room with a caption stating: "English 101: 📚Whether it's the first kit or the second kit, he remains the greatest of all time."

Although Al-Nassr rushed to "debunk the rumor" and support their star player, the comment section of the repost remained filled with mockery and meme wars from various fan groups.
