AN ASIAN Cup that began with stars from across Europe’s top leagues has delivered an unexpected final.

On Saturday, at the spectacular Lusail Stadium, host and defending champion Qatar will play Jordan, with neither team featuring players of wide renown.

Premier League players like Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Wataru Endo (Liverpool) have departed. Likewise, Paris Saint-Germain’s Lee Kang-in and Roma’s on-loan forward Sardar Azmoun.
