On Monday, Al-Nassr secured a 1-0 victory over Al-Rayyan in the second round of the AFC Champions League, courtesy of a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the team's next match in the tournament is under threat.
Details: According to Marca, Al-Nassr may withdraw from their upcoming fixture against Iranian side Esteghlal. The club has requested the AFC to consider postponing the game.
This comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East due to ongoing military conflicts, with Al-Nassr expressing concerns over the safety of their players.
Reminder: Following a 1-1 draw against Iraq's Al-Shorta in the first round of the AFC Champions League, Al-Nassr dismissed Luís Castro as head coach, appointing Stefano Pioli as his replacement.
