Despite Ronaldo's absence, Al-Nassr manager Luis Castro remains optimistic about his team's chances of winning the game. Castro has faith in his squad's ability to step up and fill the void left by Ronaldo.
"We have a strong squad and we are confident that we can win the game without Cristiano," Castro said. "He is a great player, but we have other players who can score goals and help us win."
