"We're winning 6 trophies next season" - Fans react as Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr learn their King's Cup Round-of-32 opponents
Fans expressed their opinions on social media after the opponents of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr were announced for the Round of 32 of the King's Cup. The Knights of the Najd are pitted against Al-Hazem in the knockout cup competition, with the kick-off time and venue yet to be revealed.
In last season's King's Cup, Al-Nassr made it to the final where they faced arch-rivals Al-Hilal. However, Cristiano Ronaldo's side faced a disheartening 5-4 loss on penalties after a 1-1 draw till the end of extra time.
Fans took to social media to share their views about Al-Nassr's chances at the 2024-25 King's Cup. While some seemed confident about the star forward's chances of winning the cup this time, a few criticized the club for their previous performances.
