Cristiano approaches Gento

It won’t have the same value as Gento’s six European Cups, but Cristiano Ronaldo is determined to win his five plus one continental cup. After winning five Champions Leagues in Europe (four with Real Madrid and one with Manchester United), the Portuguese striker leads Al Nasr in their quest for the Asian Champions League, a title his side have also never won. If he wins it, he will “equal” (in many quotes) the record of the Madrid myth, which has an equivalent in South American football with Franco Sa (six Libertadores Cups).

Al-Nasr have now reached the quarter-finals, having eliminated another Saudi team, Al Feiha, in the round of 16.

Al-Nasr defended the lead they had achieved in the first leg (0:1) in their stadium, and for this they had all their stars: Cristiano, Mane, Otavio, Laporte and Brozovic. The only one of the Saudi team’s big summer signings who did not play was Seko Fofana, who was sent by PIF (Public Investment Fund) to Al Ettifaq, the team managed by Steven Gerrard, to replace Jordan Henderson. Otavio opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a superb header from Al-Khaibari’s cross. Cristiano could have completed the scoring at half-time, but his header from Brozovic’s cross from a free-kick crashed into the crossbar.

The Portuguese still scored a goal in the first minute of the second half, but the goal did not appear on the scoreboard because the former Madrid player was offside. Despite this, The Portuguese did not give up and received his reward in the 85th minute, although VAR was about to overturn it with a confusing decision in which the referee went to the monitor to check whether the ex-Madrid player was in a legal position.

, something unusual when it comes to decorative actions. Al-Nasr will await their opponent in the quarterfinals.
