Cristiano Ronaldo chasing another trophy in Saudi Arabia
Ronaldo enters his fourth season with Al-Nassr, and the Super Cup final could mark his second title in the Middle East. The Portuguese star previously lifted the Arab Champions League in 2023, beating Al-Hilal in extra time.
Curiously, the rival coach in that final was Jorge Jesus, who is now leading Al-Nassr and made a winning debut in the semifinal. Since Ronaldo’s arrival, he has never lost a clash against Al-Ahli a streak that dates back to 2020.
Major setback: Sadio Mané suspended
Coach Jorge Jesus, however, will have to deal with a huge absence: Sadio Mané is suspended after receiving a straight red card in the semifinal. The Senegalese forward scored the opener against Al-Ittihad but was sent off minutes later for a reckless challenge on goalkeeper Yousef.
Jesus admitted frustration with the dismissal, criticizing the lack of maturity in such a decisive moment. Mané will only return on August 29, in the Saudi Pro League.
Why the final is unmissable
With Cristiano Ronaldo chasing his first Super Cup crown, Jorge Jesus implementing his tactical blueprint, and Al-Ahli arriving in strong form, the clash promises intensity, drama, and global attention.
