AFC Champions League Elite
Former champions Al Ain are making a return after missing the previous edition, as are Al Nassr.
Champions in 2023/24, Al Ain will not be fazed by the prospect of facing Al Nassr, having won two of their previous five meetings.
The United Arab Emirates side will, however, have to do much better than when they defended their title, with their 2024/25 campaign having ended with two draws and six defeats.
#ACLElite - Preview: Matchday One
Al Nassr will be expecting a title run, with the reigning Saudi Pro League champions having a wealth of talent at their disposal.
Leading their charge will be the mercurial Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be determined to power them to glory after having suffered AFC Champions League Two™ final disappointment last season.
