As Al-Nassr gear up to take on Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League 2024-25, there remains a big question: Will Cristiano Ronaldo play in the contest? The 40-year-old had started for Al-Nassr in their AFC Champions League Elite 2024-25 semi-final against Kawasaki Frontale but was unable to make much of an impact, with the Saudi Pro League side going down 2-3 in a closely-contested encounter. Al-Nassr looks set to have a trophy-less season and the best that the Knights of Najd can do from here on is to win all their remaining matches in the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 and hope other results go their way as they eye the domestic title.
