Al Nassr's dreams of King’s Cup glory were shattered as they fell to Al Ittihad 2-1 in the round of 16, despite playing with a man advantage for most of the second half. Karim Benzema's 15th-minute goal and Houssem Aouar's strike before halftime proved decisive, while Angelo Gabriel scored Al Nassr's only goal in the 30th minute.

This defeat marks another trophy drought for Cristiano Ronaldo with Al Nassr, who have yet to win an official title despite the Portuguese superstar's impressive individual performances. With the Saudi Pro League remaining as a potential title contender, all eyes are on Ronaldo and Al Nassr to turn their season around and finally bring home some silverware .
