What is the Asian Champions League and when do Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo play?

The Asian Champions League finally starts and there are several participating teams. However, the ones that resonate the most are precisely Al Nassr and Al Hilal, where Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar play respectively. Both teams are great candidates to win this crown, however, the road is long and they will have to go through multiple teams to try to win the AFC Champions League medal.

This day will be the start day of the AFC Champions League, the most prestigious tournament organized by the Asian Football Confederation. The champion of said tournament will be the one who represents the region in the Club World Cup, in which the UEFA Champions League champion and the CONMEBOL Libertadores champion also participate. It contains the most prestigious stars belonging to the Asian confederation, where the Saudi Pro League is located.

Cristiano Ronaldo will make his debut in the Asian Champions League and seeks to be just as decisive as in the European version of the competition, where he is the top scorer. Let us remember that the 'Knights of Najd', despite the figures that make up the squad, have not had a promising start in the Saudi League. Neymar's Al Hilal FC will clash against Navbahor this Monday the 18th and on the same day Karim Benzema's Al Ittihad will do the same against AGMK FC. Cristiano Ronaldo will make his debut on Tuesday the 19th, when Al Nassr faces Persepolis.

Ronaldo unleashed madness in Iran

The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in Iranian territory did not go unnoticed by football fans, who took to the streets to greet and see up close the passage of the bus that took him to the squad. The 38-year-old Portuguese star's team will make its debut by visiting Persepolis of Tehran in group E, which is completed by Istiklol from Tajikistan and Al Duhail from Qatar. The performance of the Portuguese and Al Nassr is expected to be extremely outstanding in this edition of the Asian Champions League.
