With Cristiano Ronaldo set to compete in his third edition, Al Nassr's 2026-27 AFC Champions League Elite roadmap, with their respective rivals and dates, has been unveiled. Cristiano Ronaldo has made the 2026-27 AFC Champions League Elite one of his defining targets in what could potentially be his final season as a professional soccer player. With the Portuguese icon still awaiting his official season debut, the continental roadmap has officially been set after Al Nassr learned their group stage opponents and fixture schedule. After missing out on the tournament last season due to a third-place finish in 2024-25, Al Nassr are back in Asia’s flagship club competition. While they competed in the AFC Champions League Two last term, where they finished as runners-up, capturing the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League title punched their ticket straight to the top tier. The draw for the expanded 2026-27 AFC Champions League Elite took place on Tuesday, August 18, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Al Nassr’s path was detailed alongside three other Saudi Arabian representatives in the competition: Al Hilal, Al Qadsiah, and reigning back-to-back champions Al Ahli. This campaign marks the first edition featuring 32 clubs across the Asian continent. The AFC adopted a single-league format similar to the UEFA Champions League for the opening phase, with every participating club playing eight matches against eight different opponents while competing in a unified standings table.

Following Tuesday’s King’s Cup victory against Al Diriyah, Al Nassr manager Ange Postecoglou addressed the continental draw: “I watched the AFC Champions League draw, but we had a difficult match. If we hadn’t done what was required, we would have been knocked out of the King’s Cup. From tomorrow, we’ll start planning for the AFC Champions League, but my priority right now is the match against Al Riyadh (on Friday).” When is Al Nassr’s debut in the AFC Champions League? Since joining Al Nassr in December 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo has competed in two AFC Champions League campaigns, suffering a quarterfinal exit against Al Ain in 2022-23 and a semifinal heartbreak against Kawasaki Frontale in 2024-25.

Arsenal are out to win everything this season, says club captain Martin Odegaard (Picture: Getty) Martin Odegaard sent a stark warning to Arsenal’s rivals following the side’s statement Community Shield victory over Manchester City, claiming he ‘wants to win everything’ over the coming season. Goals from Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz and Odegaard ensured the English champions picked up the first piece of silverware on offer this term, with City offering very little by way of response at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. Summer signing Christos Tzolis shone in the Welsh capital, assisting Havertz and Odegaard either side of half-time after Calafiori had opened the scoring just 23 seconds into the contest. Bruno Guimaraes was also handed his debut following a high-profile £75million summer move from Newcastle and looked comfortable in the middle of the park alongside the impressive Myles-Lewis Skelly.

Mikel Arteta’s men will no doubt be looking to carry their barnstorming form into the opening match of their Premier League title defence when they play host to newly promoted Coventry City at the Emirates on Friday. Enzo Maresca, meanwhile, will be under pressure to oversee immediate improvements on the back of a lacklustre and disjointed performance from City, who kick off their top-flight campaign at home to Bournemouth in a week’s time. ‘We played some brilliant football, we showed our level,’ Arsenal captain Odegaard said shortly after the final whistle. The Gunners breezed past City to get their hands on the Community Shield (Picture: Getty) Odegaard put Arsenal out of sight just moments into the second half (Picture: Getty) ‘We showed we’re ready, serious and want to do it again. ‘We want to attack it. When you get a taste of how nice it is, you want to do it again. ‘We want to win everything.’ Arteta’s men start the new Premier League season against Coventry City on Friday (Picture: Getty) Facing the media after the Gunners’ triumph, Arteta reserved special praise for new boy Tzolis, highlighting the winger’s ‘intelligence’ and ‘quality’ in the final third. ‘He’s come into the team and really organically he’s fitted in,’ the Arsenal head coach told reporters. ‘He’s a really intelligent boy, and he has a massive quality, which is that in the last 30 metres, he is so composed to pick people out in and around the box or to finish. ‘He has shown that two or three times, and he was decisive.’ Guimaraes made his Arsenal debut in Wales (Picture: Getty) Asked if there was room for improvement in Tzolis’ game, the Spaniard added: ‘With more quality around him, the numbers will be higher. It is not a coincidence. ‘He is a really consistent player in everything he does and, yes, I’m really impressed with him.’ Arsenal have now lifted the Community Shield on 18 occasions in their history – just three short of Manchester United’s total, who hold the record with 21 victories. Arteta has steered the north Londoners to three of these wins as a manager, lifting the prize in 2020 and 2023 prior to the team’s latest triumph. He also won the Community Shield twice as a player, first in 2014 and then again 12 months later. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
