Cristiano Ronaldo will be back on the pitch as Al Nassr take on arch-rivals Al-Hilal in the Arab Club Champions Cup 2023 Final. This is the first time in the history that Al Nassr would feature in the final of the competition.
Ronaldo dispatched a calm-and-composed penalty in the 75th minute in the semi final against Al-Shorta to guide Al Nassr into the final for the very first time.

In a close encounter, Al-Shorta gave a tough time to the star-studded team of Al-Nassr. Even though the possession statistics favoured Al-Nassr, their opponent hit them on the counter attack on a few instances.
However, a 75th-minute penalty from Ronaldo was enough to sink the hopes of the Iraqi outfit. Former Liverpool winger and Senegalese International Sadio Mane also featured in his second appearance for Al-Nassr, after completing a switch from Bayern Munich earlier in the summer.
