Cristiano Ronaldo could win his first official titles in Arab football


While Mengão is not playing, Flamengo fans can cheer for a former Flamengo man this Saturday (16). That is because Jorge Jesus has a chance to win two trophies with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr (SAU) starting at 1:00 PM (Brasília time).

After all, if Al-Hilal (SAU) lose to Neom (SAU) in the 33rd round, the Portuguese coach’s team will clinch the Saudi League without even taking the field. Meanwhile, the AFC Champions League Two final kicks off at 2:45 PM (Brasília time).

Who will Al-Nassr face in the Champions League Two?

The opponent of the former Flamengo manager’s club in the final will be Gamba Osaka (JPN), at Al Awwal Park, the home stadium of the Riyadh side. That means the Portuguese star could lift his first two official trophies in Arab football.

Why can Al-Nassr win the Saudi league without playing?

The mister, who made history at Flamengo, leads the league with 83 points, while Al-Hilal have 78 in this penultimate round. Therefore, their rival would not be able to reach the top of the table if they slip up against Neom at Kingdom Arena.

How is Flamengo doing without Jorge Jesus?

While the former manager fights for trophies, Flamengo, led by Leonardo Jardim, continues chasing leaders Palmeiras in the Brasileirão. Thus, the Most Beloved face Athletico-PR from 7:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (16), at Arena da Baixada, in the 16th round.
