Zamalek challenge Al Nassr's world-class squad in Arab Club Champions Cup

CAIRO - 3 August 2023: Egyptian giants, Zamalek, will take on Al Nassr on Thursday night in their final group stage game at King Fahd Stadium. 

Al Nassr share the top of the group with Al Shabab, both having four points, while Zamalek are third in the table with three points. 

The Egyptian side needs to win the game to continue their journey in the competition but they know that it will not be an easy mission against one of the top contenders for the title. 

Al Nassr have added another gem to their star-studded squad after signing one of the top wingers in the world, Sadio Mane, from Bayern Munich and he is expected to play his first game with Al Nassr today against Zamalek. 

Cristiano Ronaldo is a big threat to Zamalek defense but Sayed Abdullah, Zamalek's defender, believes that his team will face a strong squad not only a big player, adding that he trusts his team and their ability to get the three points and avoid an early exit. 

"We will face a very strong team and one of the best in the competition. But we are a big team and we will fight in the game to win the game." Sayed Abdullah said in the pre-game press conference. 

Zamalek have won the title once in 2003 when Cairo hosted the competition while Al Nassr have never won the title and they aim to be the sixth Saudi club to win the prestigious title.
