Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al Nassr teammates arrived in the UAE on Sunday for the Saudi club’s Asian Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Al Ain Football Club.
On Monday, the match will take place at Al Ain’s cutting-edge Hazza bin Zayed Stadium. It will begin at 8 p.m. UAE time.
This will be Ronaldo’s first official match in the UAE with Al Nassr.
The athlete will return from suspension on Monday to try to save Al Nassr’s season and lead the Saudi Arabian team closer to its first Asian Champions League title.
The continental competition provides Al Nassr with the best chance of winning silverware this season, and the team travels short distance to face Al Ain, the 2003 winner, in the first leg of the quarterfinals.
On Tuesday, Al-Hilal, winner of four continental titles, will face Al-Ittihad, champions in 2004 and 2005
