Former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo could return to the FIFA Club World Cup this year following Al Hilal's AFC Champions League final defeat to Urawa Reds.
The Japanese side and the Saudi Arabian Pro League club were level on aggregate following the first leg of the final. However, an Andre Carrillo own goal shortly after half time secured victory for the Tokyo-based club.
Had Al Hilal won the final both themselves and Urawa Reds would have qualified for the Club World Cup which will be held in Saudi Arabia later this year. But, thanks to Urawa's victory, they are the only team who have guaranteed their spot in the Middle East.
