Al-Nassr’s path to the final
Al-Nassr reached the decisive match after eliminating Al-Ittihad 2-1 in the semifinal, a game marked by the debut of Kingsley Coman, who impressed in his first appearance since leaving Bayern Munich. João Félix was also one of the standout performers, showing his quality in attack.
