Players to Watch

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)

He still possesses impeccable ball control, dazzling top speed, and quick acceleration to fly past opponents with ease. Simply put, Ronaldo’s shooting ability is brilliant. He can score from almost any range, the term ‘weak foot’ isn’t an accurate description to describe either one of his feet, and to top it all off he’s considered one of the best free kick specialists in the world.

Anthony Nwakaeme (Al Feiha)

When Nwakaeme is at his best, he receives the ball on the left flank and runs with the ball at pace. He sometimes cuts towards the centre before involving his teammates or will go towards the corner flag, all the while showcasing his brilliant dribbling skills, while his direct attacking moves can cause panic and open up the opposing defence. He will be a big threat to Al Nassr in the match.
