Unstoppable Al-Nassr Chase Historic 8th Win Against Al-Ahli in Saudi Super Cup Final
The stage is set for an epic clash as Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli prepare to battle for the first trophy of the season in the Saudi Super Cup final. The highly anticipated match, taking place at Hong Kong Stadium, is dripping with narrative, from Cristiano Ronaldo’s quest for silverware to a fierce rivalry renewed.
For Al-Nassr, this final represents a chance for redemption and the first official trophy of the Ronaldo era. Despite entering the match without the suspended Sadio Mané, who received a red card in the semifinal, the team rides a wave of confidence from a formidable record: they are unbeaten in their last seven meetings against Al-Ahli.
The semifinal victory over Al Ittihad was a testament to the team’s resilience. After going down to ten men, a moment of magic from Ronaldo, who provided a game-winning assist for João Félix, sealed a hard-fought 2-1 victory. This gritty performance has only strengthened the squad’s belief.
In contrast, Al-Ahli arrives in Hong Kong in devastating form, having demolished Al Qadsiah 5-1 in their semifinal. The midfield powerhouse Franck Kessié was in sublime form, scoring a brace and showcasing the kind of dominant performance that will make him a key figure to watch in the final. Their attacking line looked fluid and ruthless, presenting a starkly different challenge for the Al-Nassr defense.
Beyond the tactics and statistics, the final is a global spectacle largely due to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo. Al-Nassr head coach Jorge Jesus acknowledged the immense pull of his superstar player at a pre-match press conference.
“I am expecting the stadium to be packed to watch Cristiano and our other excellent players,” Jesus said. He added that the overwhelming support for Ronaldo translates directly to on-field energy, stating, “The crowd supporting Ronaldo provides us with positive energy. We’re playing against a very strong team, but I’m pretty confident we’re going to win.”
This sets the stage for a fascinating tactical battle: Al-Nassr’s resilient, star-driven momentum against Al-Ahli’s explosive, confident, and well-oiled attacking machine.
