Cristiano Ronaldo has never lost to Al-Ahli, who will face Al-Nassr in the Saudi Super Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo will have another chance to win his first official title with Al-Nassr this weekend, and the opponent could bring him luck: Al-Ahli, a team he has never lost to.
When is the Saudi Super Cup Final?
The final between Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli is scheduled for this weekend at 9:00 am (Brasília time). Ronaldo’s team secured their spot after defeating Al-Ittihad in the semifinals, while Al-Ahli thrashed Al-Quadisiya 5-1.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s record against Al-Ahli
Since his arrival in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has faced Al-Ahli four times in the Pro League. The results? Three wins and one draw for Al-Nassr an unbeaten streak that boosts confidence for the decisive clash.
The Portuguese star also made his mark on the scoreboard. He has scored three goals against Al-Ahli, including a memorable brace in a 4-3 win during the 2023/24 season.
A high-stakes duel
Despite Ronaldo’s positive record, the match promises to be tough. Al-Ahli are the reigning Asian champions and arrive full of confidence after their dominant semifinal win. The team features a strong squad led by Riyad Mahrez, Galeno, and Ivan Toney, with former Chelsea goalkeeper Édouard Mendy between the posts.
The last meeting between the sides, in February, ended in a 3-2 victory for Al-Nassr, with Jhon Durán scoring twice for Al-Ahli and Simakan receiving a red card.
Al-Ahli active in the market
Off the pitch, Al-Ahli has been making moves in the transfer market. Recently, the Saudi club expressed interest in Flamengo’s left-back Alex Sandro, though negotiations failed to advance.
