Cristiano Ronaldo must bury his hopes of winning the Asian Champions League. The Portuguese and ex-Bayern professional Sadio Mané failed with the Saudi club Al-Nassr in the quarter-finals against Al-Ain from the United Arab Emirates, which is valued more than 100 million euros lower in terms of squad value.

After the 0-1 defeat in the first leg at the Emirates, Ronaldo saved his team into a penalty shoot-out in the second leg (5-6 a.e.) in Riyadh with a late penalty goal in extra time. There, the 39-year-old was the only player on his team to put his penalty in the goal. However, three teammates, Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles and Otávio, missed.
Al-Nassr and Ronaldo also have little chance of winning the title in the Saudi league; the gap to league leaders Al-Hilal is already twelve points. This means that the only realistic chance for five-time world footballer Ronaldo in the current season is the national cup. The team from Riyadh is in the semi-finals.
