Al Nassr FC team news
Al Nassr, managed by Stefano Pioli, come into this semi-final on the back of a commanding 4-1 victory over Yokohama F. Marinos in the quarter-finals, with Jhon Duran scoring twice and Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo also finding the net.
The team is unbeaten in the AFC Champions League this season and has won three of its last four matches in all competitions, underlining their excellent form. Cristiano Ronaldo, now 40, continues to be a talismanic presence, having scored his eighth goal of the tournament and his 33rd of the season in all competitions.
With Duran’s January arrival adding further firepower, Al Nassr’s attack looks formidable, and the team is focused on reaching their first-ever continental final.
Kawasaki Frontale team news
Kawasaki Frontale secured their semi-final spot with a dramatic 3-2 extra-time win over Al Sadd, thanks to Yasuto Wakizaka’s decisive goal. The Japanese side, led by Shigetoshi Hasebe, twice took the lead during regular time through Erison and Marcinho, only to be pegged back each time before Wakizaka sealed their progress in the 98th minute.
Kawasaki’s recent form is solid, with three wins in their last four AFC Champions League matches, and they have suffered just one loss in the competition so far. The team is known for its entertaining, attacking style and will look to carry that momentum into their first-ever Champions League semi-final appearance, despite being considered underdogs against Al Nassr.
