Al-Ittihad vs. Al-Nassr LIVE: Cristiano Ronaldo STARTS in Saudi Super Cup Semifinals – TV Channel, Stream, Goals

Hello from Saudi Arabia

Hi everyone Kostas and welcome to SunSports live blog coverage of the Saudi Super Cup semi-final match between Al-Ittihad and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr at King Fahd International Stadium.

Manchester United legend Ronaldo is expected to start for his new team for the second straight year.

Ronaldo joined the Saudi giants after acrimoniously quit United following his controversial interview in which he slammed the club from top to bottom.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s 21-year tenure in Europe’s top flight, where he played for teams including the Red Devils, Real Madrid and Juventus, ended with his move to the Middle East.

Now the star striker is set to become his new club’s top man this season and a central figure on the pitch.

However, Al-Nassr manager Rudi Garcia will be without former Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina, who is out with an elbow injury.

Therefore, Amin Bukhari will continue to replace Ospina between the posts for the four-team tournament.

Al-Ittihad coaches and former Wolves, as well as Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo, meanwhile, have no new injury worries.

However, Suwailem Al-Menhali remains doubtful with an ongoing problem and could miss tonight’s game
