Cristiano Ronaldo is close to adding another silverware to his illustrious cabinet as Al Nassr lock horns with Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League Two Final at the Alawwal Park in Riyadh on Saturday (May 16). The Portuguese football legend has lifted many trophies in his decorated European spell as part of Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. He moved to Saudi Arabia in 2022 after ending his second spell at Old Trafford.
Despite achieving some historic individual milestones, Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, has been unable to win just one title, the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023, during his three-year stay at Al Nassr. But things can turn around this time, with the Riyadh-based side going into the much-awaited ACL 2 final.

Considering his reputation as a big-match player, Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn’t want to miss the final, where he could help Al Nassr win their third continental title. Photos surfaced online showing the veteran striker sweating it out at the training ground with his club teammates. He seems eager to play the full ninety minutes in the Al Nassr vs Gamba Osaka final.
