Cristiano Ronaldo: Speculation is brewing that Cristiano Ronaldo, the world-renowned football star, may soon grace the Indian football scene with his presence. The excitement among his Indian fans was sparked by reports that he may play against Indian Super League (ISL) teams, following his recent transfer to Al Nassr, a club based in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr after WC
Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr is being hailed as a major milestone for Asian football and is expected to have a significant impact on the landscape of Indian football. With the Portuguese legend now on their roster, Al Nassr is likely to participate in the AFC Champions League, the Asian equivalent of the UEFA Champions League.
Al Nassr currently sits atop the Saudi Pro League and if they win the league, they will qualify for the AFC Champions League 2023-24. Meanwhile, the winner of the ISL will also qualify for the AFC. As both India and Saudi Arabia are in the West Region, it is highly probable that they will be in the same group during the AFC Champions League 2023.
Potential match between Cristiano Ronaldo and ISL
If Al Nassr and an ISL club end up in the same group, Indian fans could finally get the chance to see Cristiano Ronaldo in action against Indian players. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner signed a lucrative deal with Al Nassr, making him the highest-paid football player in the world with an annual salary of USD 214 million.
