Soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo is chasing his first official trophy with Al Nassr as the Saudi Super Cup kicks off in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region this week! The high-stakes semifinal against rivals Al Ittihad on Tuesday marks the tournament’s debut in East Asia after previous editions in England and the UAE. 🏟️
Since joining Al Nassr in 2022, the 40-year-old Portuguese icon has netted 93 goals and 19 assists in 105 matches but has yet to secure an official title—his 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup win wasn’t recognized as official. 🥈 Now, with new coach Jorge Jesus at the helm, Ronaldo’s squad is laser-focused on victory. 💪
"Having Cristiano here was a huge motivation for me to take this role," Jesus said, highlighting Ronaldo’s influence. Al Nassr finished third in last season’s Saudi Pro League, trailing champions Al Ittihad by 13 points. Can they flip the script this time? 🤔
Meanwhile, Al Ahli and Al Qadsiah will clash in Wednesday’s other semifinal. With Ronaldo’s legacy on the line, all eyes are on Hong Kong! 🌍🔥
