Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates face a crucial top of the table clash against Al-Ittihad in a fixture which will be officiated by controversial Spanish official Mateu Lahoz, according to AS.
Lahoz made headlines at the World Cup during the quarter final clash between Argentina and the Netherlands in which he brandished 18 yellow cards. He handed eight to each team as well as one each to Lionel Scaloni and Water Samuel on the Argentina bench to make him an unpopular figure with the South American nation.
Lionel Messi avoided a yellow and will have been relived as eventual winners Argentina reached the semi finals on penalties after a fiery encounter in Qatar. The scenes resulted in the match being the last of Lahoz's tournament, with the Spaniard being sent home as Poland's Szymon Marciniak took charge of the final.
