Ronaldo Returns: Al Nassr vs Al Ahli Showdown

The eyes of the football world will be fixated on Jeddah this Friday as global icon Cristiano Ronaldo leads his new club Al Nassr into a mouthwatering Saudi Pro League clash against third-placed Al Ahli. Fresh off the disappointment of crashing out of the AFC Champions League in midweek on penalties to Al Ain, the 38-year-old Portuguese talisman will be determined to inspire an immediate response in domestic action. However, Al Nassr face a formidable test against an Al Ahli side boasting an array of stellar international talent, including former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino, Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez and ex-Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin.
