On January 25, Al Nassr will meet Al Ittihad in the semi-final of the Saudi Arabia Super Cup. If they win, they will go to the final on January 29 to meet the winner of the Al Hilal - Al Fayha pair.

This season, with nine goals, midfielder Anderson Talisca is leading the list of goals for Al Nassr. Aboubakar, Luiz Gustavo and Ayman Yahya are tied for second with four goals.

Aboubakar is a Cameroonian for the 2022 World Cup. In the group stage, the 30-year-old striker scored twice in a 3-3 draw with Serbia and 1-0 victory over Brazil. Meanwhile, Ronaldo only had one goal from the penalty spot in Portugal's 3-2 win over Ghana.
