Al Nassr has surprisingly found themselves on the back foot. Cristiano Ronaldo and his men were handed a massive 1-0 defeat at the hands of Al Ain earlier this month. However, the team has the chance to turn things around as they take on the side in the second leg of the AFC Champions League Quarterfinals clash. The team will be desperate for a win as Luis Castro’s side is pretty much out of the race for the Saudi Pro League title with a 12-point margin separating them from table-toppers, Al Hilal.

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be in a great mood as he addressed the media ahead of his team’s clash against Al Ain. Despite their backs turned against the wall, the Al Nassr skipper seemed confident of a positive result ahead of their upcoming clash. Cristiano stated, “We will not spare any drop of sweat for the fans of Al Nassr. Tomorrow, remontada!” (Remontada in Spanish means comeback).

It seems like Cristiano Ronaldo will not accept anything less than a win against Al Ain. The AFC Champions League seems to be the only chance for the team to finish this season with a prominent silverware. It will be interesting to see if the team can keep their composure and find the win over their opponents. The past few games have not worked out in the team’s favor with the side handed consecutive defeats.

Fans will hope that Cristiano Ronaldo can also get past the minor roadblock with the player failing to score in the last two outings. Meanwhile, Al Nassr’s defense has also become a massive headache for the side, with the team conceding 10 goals in their last 4 games. With his teammates failing to deliver, all eyes are once again on Cristiano Ronaldo!

Can Cristiano Ronaldo carry Al Nassr to the AFC Champions League title?

While Al Nassr was amongst the initial favorites for the AFC Champions League title, their recent performances have seen their stock take a massive dent. Oddsmakers believe the side is lacking momentum and could be out of the tournament before even reaching the finals. According to reports, rivals Al Hilal are considered the favorites for the title, with the team still going undefeated in the tournament. However, if there is one person who has proved the odds wrong time and again, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo!
