Al Nassr is preparing to take on Al Ain in the second leg of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, with Cristiano Ronaldo looking for redemption after a tough game against Al Raed in the Saudi Pro League.

The first leg saw Al Nassr trailing 0-1 against Al Ain, with Soufiane Rahimi scoring the only goal and Aymeric Laporte seeing a red card, ruling him out for the upcoming clash.

In the recent Saudi Pro League match, Al Nassr struggled, losing 1-3 to Al Raed where Cristiano Ronaldo missed several scoring opportunities, adding pressure on him to perform in the upcoming AFC Champions League encounter.

The anticipated lineup for Al Nassr includes Ospina in goal, along with defensive players like Al-Ghannam, Lajami, Al-Amri, and Behich. In midfield, Al-Khaibari, Al-Najei, Yahya, Otavio, and Mane will be set to provide support for Ronaldo up front.

On the other hand, Al Ain is expected to field Eisa in goal, supported by defenders like Al-Ahbabi, Al-Hashemi, Autonne, and Erik. Their midfield will consist of Yong-woo, Waleed, Barman, and Palacios, while Kaku and Rahimi will likely lead the attack against Al Nassr.

The AFC Champions League second leg clash between Al Nassr and Al Ain is set to take place at the iconic King Saud Stadium in Riyadh, offering Ronaldo and his team a chance at redemption and a ticket to the semifinals.
