Ronaldo absence sombers mood as FC Goa battle Al Nassr
New Delhi: Al Nassr might be without Cristiano Ronaldo but it doesn’t make FC Goa’s task easier in their AFC Champions League Two home clash on Wednesday.
At the bottom of the group with two consecutive defeats, Goa would have to pull above their weight to avoid a hat-trick against the group toppers.
Had Ronaldo travelled with his Saudi Arabian club team-mates, the stands at the Fatorda stadium would have filled up, allowing FC Goa to make a buck.
Without Ronaldo, that opportunity has evaporated into thin air, leaving Goa with the task of ensuring that they are not blown away on the pitch.
