Cristiano Ronaldo & co will return to action as Al Shabab host Al Nassr at the King Fahd Stadium on Monday (December 11) in the quarterfinals of the King Cup. Al Nassr vs Al Shabab Live Steaming will be on Sony LIV. Sony Sports Network will broadcast the King Cup Live in India.
Al Nassr vs Al Shabab Preview:
Al Shabab and Al Nassr have each clinched the King’s Cup three times, with the most recent triumph for Al Shabab occurring in 2014. Their journey in the competition saw them reach the quarterfinals two seasons ago, where they secured a memorable 2-1 victory against Al-Ahli.
Despite facing challenges in the Saudi Pro League this season, the hosts aim to turn their fortunes around in the domestic cup. They began their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Al-Batin in the opening round, thanks to former Atletico Madrid player Yannick Carrasco’s impressive brace.
Al Shabab continued their success in the subsequent round, defeating Al-Fateh by the same scoreline, with Carrasco once again shining with another two-goal performance.
On the other side, Al Nassr commenced their journey with a commanding 5-1 win over Ohod, featuring goals from five different players, including former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane. In the following round, they secured a hard-fought 1-0 extra-time victory against Al-Ettifaq, with Mane once again proving crucial with a goal.
Despite their six previous cup victories, it’s been over three decades since Al Nassr last lifted the trophy, creating an added layer of anticipation and determination as Cristiano Ronaldo & co strive for success in the current competition.
