  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ronaldo has grown accustomed to collecting winners’ medals on a regular basis over the course of his illustrious career, and will be hoping for more of the same in 2024. He remains a talismanic presence for Al-Nassr and an on-field leader at 39 years of age.

    CR7 will need to step up again if the Super Cup is to remain in Al-Nassr’s sights, with Al-Hilal set to present the toughest of tests. The Saudi Pro League leaders boast the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic within their star-studded ranks.
