Ronaldo's brace win him first Arab championship trophy with Al-Nassr FC
Al Nassr won the Arab Club Champions Cup thanks to a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo. They won their first trophy of the year after defeating Al Hilal 2-1 in extra time. Al Nassr won thanks to goals from Ronaldo in the 74th and 97th minutes. Al Hilal's goal came from Michael in the 51st minute. Both teams had numerous chances, but none of them resulted in goals.
Notably, Ronaldo's team defeated Al Shorta 1-0 in the semifinal to advance to the championship. Al Hilal, meanwhile, defeated Al Shabab 3-1 to guarantee its spot in the championship game.
Al Nassr's spot in the Arab Club Champions Cup final was assured by Ronlado's penalty kick in the final minute. Al Nassr improved as a team over the summer. They displayed outstanding resolve in the preseason, holding PSG and Inter to a tie. They have increased their offense by bringing in Sadio Mane from Bayern.

Al Nassr took first place in the group and won three of their five games, adding two draws. Prior to this competition, their defense was lacking, but Luis Castro's team has much improved. If they triumph on Saturday, Ronaldo will win his first trophy while wearing the yellow uniform. The international player for Portugal has scored in each of his last four Arab Club Champions Cup games. In the championship, Al Nassr will depend on his performance.
Al Hilal, on the other hand, can be a dominant team this season because they checked off every box during the summer transfer window. Additionally, they have a strong head-to-head record versus Al Nassr, winning 37 of the 67 games. Only 16 games were won by Al Nassr between the two teams. Al Hilal defeated Al-Ittihad in the quarterfinals and Al-Shabab in the semifinals to get to the final. -InsideSport
