Will Cristiano Ronaldo play tonight for Al Nassr vs Al-Ittihad in King's Cup?

The former Real Madrid striker duo face off in the Saudi Cup!

Al-Nassr are off to a brilliant start in 2025–26 and have made 12 competitive appearances without losing in regular time. Their only loss came against Al Ahli in the Super Cup final penalty shootout.

Al-Nassr are undoubtedly on a hot streak, as evidenced by their ten consecutive wins in all competitions and their 2-0 victory over Al Hazem on the road in the Saudi Pro League last weekend.

With six victories and 21 goals in six games, they lead the Saudi Pro League and have an impeccable record of three wins in three AFC Cup games. It’s difficult to imagine any AFC team competing against Al-Nassr at this time.

Al-Nassr have also played excellent defence, giving up just three goals in their last ten games in all competitions.

For the team, João Félix and Cristiano Ronaldo have been outstanding. In six league games, they have combined for 15 goals and two assists, with Kingsley Coman adding three goals and four assists.

In the previous game, Ronaldo scored his 950th career goal and will be eager to increase the tally tonight at home.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play tonight?

Cristiano Ronaldo is fit and trained with his team ahead of the game, so he should be starting the key match vs Al Ittihad. He was on the score sheet in the previous game and extended his goal tally to six goals in the league this season.

However, his primary target is now to win a trophy with the club, which he has not been able to deliver following his high-profile move to the club. The King Cup competition is another opportunity for Ronaldo to win a trophy with Al-Nassr, despite them already leading the league.
