The King's Cup final between Al Hilal and Al Nassr went to penalties and it was not easy for Al Hilal to win the match. Mitrovic gave Al Hilal the lead in the 7th minute, but Al Nassr struggled to win the match despite being down to 10 men.David Ospina received a red card in the 56th minute, leaving his team down to 10 men.Despite this, Al Nassr managed to hold on to the match and managed to take the match to extra time with a goal in the last minutes.Despite playing with one man less in extra time, Al Nassr failed to make the most of their chances, taking the match to penalties.

Al Nassr are weaker than Al Hilal and this season, through many matches directly between two clubs and with other clubs, show this fact. Sometimes difference is slim but most of times, differences between them are big.

Cristiano Ronaldo actually is ambitious and never want to lose a match or a title so this result is hardly accepted by him. He takes big risk by playing this match because Euro 2024 is around the air and any injury will put him at risk of missing the tournament.

Improving defense system will be biggest task for Al Nassr in the summer because in attacking, they are not bad but in defense, they got too many conceded goals even when playing with weak teams in Saudi Professional League. They lost many points to weak or average clubs in Saudi Professional League and when Al Hilal dominate the league, these conceded goals and lost points make big difference in the title competition.

Once again Al Hilal won against Al Nassr on King's Cup final match, Al Nassr disadvantage last night after their goals keeper David Ospine received direct red card on 56th. Ayman Yahha helped Al Nassr by scoring goal before few minutes match ended but got loss from penalty kick. I watched highlight and looking how emotional with Cristiano Ronaldo after another failure for winning King's Cup.

Season 2023/24 have been over with Al Nassr not winning any tittle yet, difference with the rival teams Al Hilal success get treble winner in this season after winning domestic league, Saudi Super Cup until King's Cup trophies and make them dominance for this season all competition.
Al Nassr must improving their performance for next season get opportunity for winning domestic league tittle by signing some top player, its not difficult with financial support for signing top European players.

Yes, they had to accept defeat again from Al Hilal in the final match which was actually the last chance for them to win at least one title, but they failed to do so. They lost on penalties and that must have hurt a lot. We can see how Al Hilal's toughness has not been able to be resisted by Al Nassr this season and Al Hilal has become champion again and at the same time ensures that Al Nassr ends the season without a title this season.

Al Nassr must be able to improve next season, Al Hilal is still too tough for them. They must evaluate their failures this season and prepare their strength to navigate the next season. I think they will be able to do it, especially as they have the potential to be able to do all of that. What is clear is that now they have to take a break and forget about what happened to them this season. They must focus on preparing the team for the next season.

Al Nassr players are unserious players, they don’t know what is called winning, I know that Al Hilal is better than them but Al Nassr players don’t know how to play football, imagine common a penalty shootout Al Nassr players don’t know how to play, Al Nassr have many opportunities to win in the match when playing the penalty and they miss it, I have already said it from the beginning that Al Nassr doesn’t have a good players that will help Ronaldo, Al Nassr players don’t know how to play football, most especially the defensive players, they don’t know how to defend to stop their opponents to score a goal and that is why they always struggle to win a match, I don’t even know if Ronaldo is not in the team the position they are going to be this season.

The only thing that will make Al Nassr win a trophy next season is for the team to go and sign new players, sell out some of the players in the team and go to the premier league, Laliga league and other leagues to get good players that will help them, many players are going to be out of contract in many leagues, Al Nassr should go and buy those players because those their Saudi players don’t know how to play football, Al Hilal have many players that come from outside Saudi that is why they are performing very good.

Congratulations to Al Hilal for winning crowned champions, indeed, Al Hilal are not done with Al Nasr now it amount to five meetings and Al Hilal haven't lost any, the last time  Al Nasr won Al Hilal was in final which i was expecting it to happened again because Ronaldo don't joke when it comes to playing final, but now that he knows the weakness of the player when it come to taking penalty i think it high time they address the issue because of next time, build them more confidence because penalty is all about confidence sometimes and also know how to play it, some players look so scared when it comes to penalty kick and even some of the goalkeeper noticed that fears in them.

How do you mean by the process of Al Nassr  loss to Al Hilal was very easy? A game that both team fought to the end despite the reds cards that were issued for the foul action of the respective players with dozens of yellow cards that followed through.

Ronaldo before now has always been known for shedding tears in any finals his team loses to lift the trophy no matter how many times he might have won it or how small the trophy may be compared to his major achievements of his career in Europe. He is a player with a  vigorous passion for football and to him every football trophy means so much to him not minding the category it falls. I bet it that some world best wouldn't care much for losing  the kings cup finals how more crying for any obvious reasons.

Metrovic score early goal in this one of the most fierce game of the season which played between two arch rivals and things were really entertaining with we have 24 shots on goal from the Al Nassr but still this was not enough to win the game as hardly they were able to bring themselves to the level in 88th minute of the game and then lost this another final and last game of the season which is terrible end of the season for inform Cristiano Ronaldo who was at the top of the form but still end without any trophy in this season.

We have 15 cards in this game which is maybe record in this Saudi League Al Hilal concede two red cards and Ospina having red card for Al Nassr which is surely problematic for them in this final both teams were at the level, but Al Nassr was having aggressive approach as they were desperate for the win and having cup but its end bad for them.

Al Hilal won and were crowned champions. Al Hilal defeated their rival team Al Nasr, which is very sad for Al Nasr. Because the process of Al Nasr losing to Al Hilal was very easy. They defeated Al Hilal very easily. Ronaldo broke down in tears after the penalty shootout. Because Ronaldo knew that his teammates would disappoint him.

The most difficult match of the Saudi Deluge League was held, in this match both teams tried hard and the main game was a 1-1 goal draw. But later on penalty, Al Nasr team was behind by one goal, but Alhamdulillah every player started to score, but I was very happy to see the game because I have rarely seen such a tough competition game in the past. Cristiano Ronaldo tried hard but couldn't score in this match as both teams were strong so every attack was countered.

32 years old Brazilian star who is in contract with Al Hilal and due to knee injury is out of the action for the last 8 months is set for return in July just before start of next season with how things will be work it's not clear because now we will have Al Hilal current squad is competitive and can do much better without him.

Neymar Jr who is famous for his long term injuries and off the field issues is having not good time even in future because as he is doing mostly likely Al Hilal will be not considered him for the next season as now they are in talk with few other stars those are ready for playing in Saudi Pro League but still know we have waited for the two more months than all will be clear about him and his future at the Saudi League where he is taking $100 Million annual salary which is third most for a soccer player.

right from the onset I knew that Al hilal were certainly winning this kings cup cause they were the better side in all ramification. In terms of pace they were better, they were more clinical and had better attacking mindset compared to Al Nasir.

If we remove past glory and sentiment out of our analysis then it's easy to point out that Ronaldo isn't helping the Al Nasir team that much. Dude is always in an offside position and isn't helping in hunting for the ball in most occasion. Most times it's almost like he is minus one on the pitch who is just waiting to tap the ball into the goal post without putting serious effort and threat to his opponent. He's a big name that has great record in the past but from his current performance, it's not what the Al Nasir needs if they have any plans of winning a trophy. I knew he felt bad when is teammate misses out in the penalty that would have granted them an easy win but that's just football, if you can't get get the win during tge 90 minutes of play, you have to accept the fact that you're in for a 50/50 situation and that anything can happen at that instance.

Last month being sport has published ETA about the comeback of neymar.

https://www.beinsports.com/en-us/soccer/articles-video/neymar-would-be-very-close-to-returning-to-play-for-al-hilal-2024-04-23

It's clear we can expect him to join in the al hilal again next months. Neymar got serious injury, and he needs to spend more than a season t recover from his injury. I hope he will recover even faster than what i was expecting. Neymar appeared celebrate al hilal's SPL win too.

Neymar has made a reconciliation for his relationship with al hilal's management.

^^^ Not that sure about Neymar. As far as I know, Neymar is not in good terms with the Al Hilal management. When he got injured, the management wanted him to stay in Saudi Arabia. But he ignored their request and flew back to Brazil, giving the excuse that he want to be with his family. Anyway at this point, he hasn't yet recovered from his injury (he is also missing from the Brazil squad for Copa America 2024) and therefore it is difficult to say when he will turn up for Al Hilal again.

Neymar seems to be just carving out his name for himself at Al Hilal because he doesn't play many matches and only played 5 matches in the Saudi League. He was absent a lot due to a serious injury so he didn't take part in the match until the end of the season, but hopefully next season he will recover and be able to return. to Al Hilal and contributed there, even though he was absent the club still performed well in the Saudi League and in other competitions. Al Hilal only failed in the AFC Champions League but did not fail in other competitions and won many titles this season in contrast to Al Nassr which did not to win any title they failed in all competitions.

All the matches between the two of them prove that Al Hilal's ability is still above Al Nassr's as proven in their many meetings Al Nassr was unable to beat Al Hilal and the best that Al Nassr could achieve was to achieve a draw even though in that match Al Hilal lost 2 players while Al Nassr lost 1 player but still Al Nassr couldn't break into Al Hilal's goal easily. Al Hilal's attacks were more on target, there were no goals they could miss, while Al Nassr failed to take advantage of this opportunity to win at least 1 title to take home.

Once again, Al Hilal are crowned Champions after beating their top rival, Al Nassr in penalty shootout, frustrating for Al Nassr. The game was tough and aggressive actions was the orders of the day. Witnessed 4 straight red cards, was it fair enough from the referee. I'm blaming Al Nassr team because they've failed to meet the target this season, losing easily and come to think about it, the knight of Najd are unserious club following their performance against Al Hilal. Ronaldo was in tears after the penalty shootout, he already knew his team will dissapoints him and this is really a whole lot to handle.

I agree with you that Al-Nassr must really be able to improve its defense and of course it is true that Al-Nassr must be able to make good use of the transfer market and of course must bring in great players, especially in the defense line because for the front players, in my opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo, Talisca and Mane alone are enough. next season Al-hilal definitely doesn't want to be beaten by any team and definitely wants more from this season. Of course, by extending Jorge Jesus' contract, Jorge Jesus certainly wants to make Al-hilal even better than this season, but of course we won't know about Al-hilal next season because other teams will also want to be champions. in the next season, but I am sure Ittihad, Al-nassr, Al-ahli, Al-taawon and Al-hilal will continue to compete fiercely in the next season.

Now Al-Hilal in the Saudi Arabian King's Cup has successfully defeated Al-Nassr by ending in a penalty shootout and Al-Hilal was lucky to finish the penalty shootout well and finally Al-Hilal won the title again. Honestly, this match was very tense, yes, even though I lost in bet but this match is really entertaining. yes, now Al-nassr is very unfortunate, he failed to win the title again and he failed to take advantage of opportunities well, but still Al-nassr has played optimally and Al-hilal is really strong this season and Jorge Jesus is really great at making good strategies .

I have been supporting al Hilal since it has never lost against al Nassr and your wish was not even coming true. im sorry for your lost. To be honest, al Nassr has a slim chance of defeating al Hilal right now but hilal has managed to beat al nassr through the penalty.I don't even trust al nasr to win the game since al hilal would be crushing al nassr again and it happens now, and al nassr will eventually lose to al hilal.
Mitrovic is causing Al Nassr to lose their trophy. That is why I am so confident in Al Hilal's team. Congratulations to al Hilal for winning another trophy this season. I'm sorry, Ronaldo; you're good, but not with your team. Al hilal is doing it again winning another trophy. yet another amazing performance from the club. Al nassr tries to perform better but al hilal is still superior compared to the al nassr.
Glad to see that hilal gets another trophy. Jorge and his team deserved it.

Indeed. In this season, Saudi league has many European players. I think it is good to increase the level of football competition in Saudi. We can see that this league becomes more productive, we have a lot of goals during in this season. The play style of the teams in Saudi becomes more interesting, it looks better than previous seasons. Sure, Al Hilal and Al Nassr become the strongest teams in Saudi league. But other teams like Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, and Al Taawon are quite competitive, too. Even this season is bad for Al Ittihad but it makes it interesting because there is no too superior team in Saudi league. I hope there will be more teams to be more competitive in the next season.

Some teams may change their coaches. I just hope there will be new top coaches. Al Nassr looks unsatisfied with the current coach, they probably hire a new coach. Al Ittihad is also possible to do the same way. So, it seems interesting to see how the teams in Saudi league to compete for the next season. I personally wants to see Al Nassr be the strongest team in the next season.

Congratulations for Al Hilal!!
They could win 2 trophies after they win this King Cup trophy.
Honestly, Al Hilal has the strongest squad now. Just look at the market value of Al Hilal team. They succeed building their team this season.

I see Neymar in this picture. Sometimes I forgot that he is one of Al-Hilal squad even though he almost didn't play anything nor contributed that much to this victory.
Al-Hilal proved once again that the team is one of the best in its region. It is true that Al-Nassr wasn't that far from the victory but a series of mistakes in addition to getting the goalkeeper out due to a red card impacted the team for sure. At the end of the second half, Al-Hilal line-ups missed two defenders due to red cards too, yet they were able to secure their net.
