Sakai: Vissel Kobe's aim is to be Asia's best

Kobe: Vissel Kobe defender Gotoku Sakai is targeting a winning start to the club’s AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26 campaign on Wednesday when the reigning J1 League titleholders face off against Chinese Super League side Shanghai Port FC.

Kobe return for their fourth attempt at claiming the continental title since making their debut in the competition in 2020, when an Andres Iniesta-inspired side reached the semi-finals in Doha.
 
That performance remains a high point for the Takayuki Yoshida-coached outfit, who won their second J1 League title in a row last season and who will be aiming to advance to the knockout rounds once again.
