HONG KONG, China (AFP)—Cristiano Ronaldo will have a last crack at winning the Asian Champions League when the continent’s top club competition begins on Monday, with big-spending Saudi teams set to dominate.

The Portuguese attacker has nearly won it all during his club career, including five UEFA Champions League crowns.
