The Asian Champions League, equivalent to the Europa League in Europe, concluded with a disappointing final for Al Nassr. They lost to Osaka with a score of 1-0, with the only goal coming from Turkish player Deniz Hummet in the 30th minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo (41), one of the greatest footballers of all time, was part of the Al Nassr squad but expressed his frustration with a protest after the match. Croatian player Marcelo Brozović was absent due to injury.

The Portuguese star did not appear at the award ceremony, unlike his teammates. After the match, Ronaldo left the venue in protest and did not return.
