Nigeria's Henry Onyekuru challenges Ronaldo's Al-Nassr ahead of Champions League clash
Henry Onyekuru and his Al-Fahya squad are gearing up for a pivotal showdown in the AFC Champions League knockout stage against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.
With the stakes high following a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, Onyekuru is bullish about overturning the result in Wednesday night's clash at Al Awal Park, King Saud University, Riyadh.
A Bold Promise for Victory
Onyekuru, the Nigerian forward, is not just ready; he's eager to lead Al-Fahya in what could be a historic victory. Fresh off a thrilling performance that saw him net two goals in a crucial Saudi League win, Onyekuru's confidence is sky-high.
"There is nothing impossible in football, and our goal is definitely to win," he declared, signalling a fearless approach against the formidable Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo and Al-Nassr's Dominance Challenged
Al-Nassr, buoyed by the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the decisive goal in the first leg, stands as a formidable barrier to Al-Fahya's ambitions. Yet, despite Al-Nassr's impressive eight-match unbeaten streak in the AFC Champions League, Onyekuru's message is clear: expect the unexpected.
His teammate, Anthony Nwakaeme, also shines brightly, contributing a goal and two assists in their last outing, suggesting a dynamic duo ready to unsettle the Knights of Najd.
Onyekuru's stance is unwavering, focusing on victory as the ultimate goal, irrespective of who finds the net. "It does not matter who scores against Al-Nassr, the most important thing for me is to achieve victory and make the fans happy," he emphasised, per SaudiWorldFootball.
