Ronaldo hunts Asian Champions League glory in Saudi-hosted finals

The nation hosts the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final of Asia’s premier club competition - given a new look and format this year as the AFC Champions League Elite -- from April 25 to May 3 in Jeddah.

The Saudi clubs have lured stars from Europe, meaning Jeddah's Al Ahli plus Riyadh clubs Al Hilal and Al Nassr are among the favourites to lift the trophy on May 3 at the 62,000-capacity King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

Saudi teams dominated the West Zone league stages, with Al Hilal and Al Ahli both unbeaten in eight games and Ronaldo's Al Nassr next best as they filled the top three spots.
