Cristiano Ronaldo continues to prove his immense value with Al-Nassr, as he leads the team's scoring chart in the elite AFC Champions League this season, having scored 6 goals, confirming his pivotal role in the team's continental journey.

This comes ahead of the anticipated clash between Al-Nassr and Esteghlal Tehran, in the Round of 16 of the tournament, which will take place this evening at Azadi Stadium in Iran. Despite the importance of the match, the coaching staff decided to rest Ronaldo and not include him in the game.

In addition to Ronaldo, the team includes a number of players who have contributed to the goal tally, with Talisca in second place with 2 goals, while Ali Al-Hassan, Angelo Gabriel, Aymeric Laporte, Mohammed Al-Fateel, Sadio Mane, and Sultan Al-Ghannam each scored one goal.

With the absence of the attacking captain and the team's top scorer, Al-Nassr will need to find alternative solutions to compensate for him, especially given Esteghlal Tehran's strength at home. All eyes will be on the other stars who can make a difference in this crucial match.

Al-Nassr aims to achieve a valuable away victory to enhance their chances of advancing to the next round of the tournament, as they strive to win the continental title for the first time in their history.
