It may seem like a joke, but reports from Europe indicate that the Saudi Arabian Football Federation has already started talks with UEFA for a Saudi Pro League team to play in the Champions League, which could imply the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the tournament. .
The Lusitanian footballer was crowned with 5 Champions Leagues during his stay at Real Madrid, a fact that he tried to emulate with Manchester United and Juventus, but was unsuccessful, so now with Al-Nassr he could have a new opportunity.

Saudi team could play the Champions League
According to information from international media, such as ‘Calcio Finanza’, Arab soccer wants to achieve something unprecedented, since it is reported that they have already initiated contact for one of their teams to be invited to the UCL, although it would not be for the edition which is about to start.
If the data is correct, Saudi Arabia wants to reach an agreement so that one of its teams is a ‘wild card’ in the tournament; the local league champion, from the 2024-25 season, would be the invitee to the Champions League.
The plan would be that, according to the report, the Arab team can enter the 2025 edition, remembering that the competition format will change, since it will go from 32 to 36 teams, there will no longer be groups and a gap will be opened to achieve it. .
At the moment there would only be one more conversation, no agreement or detailed plan has been reported, so we will have to be attentive to what may happen.
