Al Nassr loses AFC Champions League Two final to Gamba Osaka

On May 16, 2026, Al Nassr was defeated by Gamba Osaka with a score of 1-0 in the final of the AFC Champions League Two, held in Riyadh. Following the match, Cristiano Ronaldo did not participate in the silver medal presentation ceremony and instead remained in the dressing room. Reports indicate this marks the fourth major final loss for the Portuguese forward since joining the Saudi club. While some sources characterize this as a failure to win major titles since 2023, the player has previously won the Arab Club Champions Cup. Al Nassr remains in contention for the league title, with an upcoming match scheduled for next Thursday against Damac. Should they win, or record a better result than Al Hilal, who play Al Feiha, they will be crowned league champions.
