Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad have been one of Asia’s premier clubs over the past decade, with two continental triumphs based on backs to the wall wins. Now the Jeddah side are eyeing a record third crown utilising their famed resilience.

All four AFC Champions League quarter-final ties remain evenly balanced although two-time winners Al Ittihad are well placed after a win over Chinese kings Guangzhou Evergrande.
