According to journalist Ali Al-Harbi, the UEFA management is interested in inviting Al-Nassr from the Saudi Arabian championship to play in the Champions League.
According to the source, the reason for this decision is the increased popularity of the Saudi team after the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined the club as a free agent in January 2023.
This season he has played 16 games for the Riyadh-based club, scoring 15 goals and providing nine assists. The 38-year-old forward has 203 matches and 127 goals for the national team.
During the last 16 match of the King's Cup against Al-Ettifaq, the Portuguese asked the audience in the stands to stop chanting Messi's name.
