Cristiano Ronaldo’s pursuit of a major trophy in Saudi Arabia gains momentum as Al Nassr prepares for a pivotal Asian Champions League encounter against Qatar’s Al Gharafa.
Al Nassr enters this match determined to move past their recent 2-1 defeat to Al Qadisiya, which ended their unbeaten streak in the Saudi Pro League. Although Ronaldo scored his 911th career goal, the team failed to maintain their advantage and fell third in the SPL table. The spotlight now turns to their Asian campaign, where they have consistently delivered strong performances against some of the region’s top teams.
Saudi Arabian clubs remain unbeaten in the western zone of the Asian Champions League, where the 24 participating teams are split into two groups of 12. After eight group-stage matches, the top eight from each group advance to the Round of 16. In Group B, Al Nassr holds third place with 10 points from four games.
Al Gharafa faces a formidable challenge in their bid for a knockout-stage spot in the AFC Champions League. Currently sixth in the West Zone standings, Al Gharafa trails third-placed Al Nassr by 6 points and will need consistency as the League Stage enters its latter half. Their inconsistent performances on the continental stage leave little room for error, however, their confidence will be up thanks to a commanding 3-1 victory over Al Wakrah in the Qatar Stars League 2024-25 on Friday.
