Heartbreak for Ronaldo: Al-Nassr’s Shocking Exit from AFC Champions League Semifinal



Cristiano Ronaldo’s pursuit of an Asian Champions League title faced a significant setback as Al-Nassr suffered a 3-2 defeat to Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale in the semifinals. Despite Al-Nassr’s dominance in possession and numerous scoring opportunities, Kawasaki’s clinical finishing secured their spot in the final.


The match began with Kawasaki’s Tatsuya Ito opening the scoring, but Sadio Mane equalized for Al-Nassr. Kawasaki regained the lead through Yuto Ozeki before halftime and extended it with Akihiro Ienaga’s goal in the second half. A late goal from Aiman Yahya gave Al-Nassr hope, but they couldn’t find the equalizer.


Ronaldo, visibly emotional after the match, acknowledged the team’s efforts and expressed gratitude to the fans. This defeat means Ronaldo will end another season without a major trophy since joining Al-Nassr.


Kawasaki Frontale’s victory marks their first-ever appearance in the AFC Champions League final, where they will face Al-Ahli. Al-Nassr and Ronaldo will now shift their focus to domestic competitions, aiming to end the season on a positive note.
