Al Hilal ended the season with great success at domestic level, they managed to win the trophy in an undefeated manner, but unfortunately that didn't happen in the Asian Champions League. Most recently, Al Hilal managed to win the Saudi Arabian King Cup by beating Al Nassr. This defeat automatically meant that Ronaldo and his colleagues ended the season empty-handed. I think Al Hilal deserved it, even though they won through a penalty shootout.

Al Nassr really has to build better squad depth, if they have the ambition to win a trophy next season, while Ronaldo is still by their side. It's true that Ronaldo is no longer young, but he is still capable of scoring lots of goals, and his experience and mentality can have a big influence on the team. If Al Nassr can recruit quality players, I think they will be as successful as Al Hilal next season.

Financially, Al Nassr will certainly not be hampered by recruiting players from European competitions, where Ronaldo influence can also smooth out these plans. The defense line is the main priority that must be improved, they must be able to reduce the number of goals conceded. For Al Nassr front line, I think it is very sharp, because Ronaldo is still capable of scoring lots of goals next season.

Yes, the transfer market is getting closer so it is not surprising that many top players from European clubs who are quite old are linked with Saudi Arabian League clubs. Because if players from top European clubs play in the Saudi Arabian League, they will definitely be offered quite expensive contracts. However, when talking about Lewandowski, it is true that he will continue to defend Barcelona next season. Moreover, currently Barcelona has brought in Hansi Flick as a new coach. So this will certainly make Lewandowski feel more at home at Barcelona, ​​because Hansi Flick was his former coach when Lewandowski was still in the Bayern Munich uniform.

Then about Nacho, currently I haven't heard any news about him. However, if you look at his contract with Real Madrid, it will end this season. So, if for example Nacho doesn't get a contract extension, I think it's very likely he will join Ronaldo at Al Nasr. The reason is that it seems like there is no other club in Europe that is ready to bring in Nacho. This is normal considering that he is quite old now. So it is natural that, for example, he did not receive a contract extension from Real Madrid or other offers from clubs in Europe. Therefore, the Saudi Arabian League could be quite an attractive option for Nacho before retiring.

Indeed, the loss of a player who has been a mainstay will also affect the team's play. However, the problem is that the club they are facing is Al Hilal and we know that Al Hilal's defense is also very good this season, so I don't think Talisca's presence will say much when facing Al Hilal's defense. I say this not without basis, because I saw their meeting in the previous match this season, so it is true here that Al Hilal is better than Al Nassr.

In fact, in my opinion, AL Hilal's game in this match was not as usual or they experienced a slight decline, but they were still able to win the match even though they had to go through a penalty shootout. I actually predicted that they would lose, but amidst my feelings or predictions like that I hoped that Al Nassr could provide a surprise, but that didn't happen and they had to accept their defeat.

Al Hilal had great success this season in the Saudi Pro League, they became champions without losing and only got 3 draws from the 34 matches they played. They only lost 6 points during the entire season. It's truly extraordinary what they have shown this season, they are very solid in all lines, from the defense line, midfield and front line showing equally good performances, so they can achieve extraordinary statistics.
No team can stop their dominance in the Saudi Pro League this season, Al Nassr, who is trying to provide competition, turns out to be no better than Al Hilal. And even in the few meetings they played, Al Nassr lost more than Al Hilal.
They really deserve to win the title this season, they showed that they are a champion team with their impressive performance during one season. Al Nassr must be able to improve even more if they want to compete closely with Al Hilal.

Yes, the Saudi Pro League is indeed a new color for players who are almost finished, because in the Saudi Pro League they can get big salaries, apart from that, they can also reunite with other great players who were previously in Europe and have even defend the same team. This clearly attracts a lot of interest from players who will soon decide to retire.

It's also sad for Real Madrid because they have to lose another player who has been in the squad, but this will always happen in football, especially if it is related to their age which is no longer young, sooner or later they will lose that player. . However, Real Madrid's preparations are also very good at this time, because they have been preparing for a long time to have young players who they are preparing to replace players who will leave. This is a thorough preparation that Real Madrid has done well.

Al Hilal took the lead in the first half with 1 goal and the match was very fierce until the second half was almost over but when entering the 88th minute there was goal for Al Nassr which was created by Yahya, this made the match end in draw.
There were no significant changes but the match round two was really very dramatic, Al Nassr first received 1 red card for goalkeeper and had to play with 10 players but in the second half everything went very interesting because Al Nassr dominated the attacks.
Al Hilal defenders looked more overwhelmed and several of Al Nassr attempts were thwarted until finally in the final minutes of the second half Al Hilal received 2 red cards for the defenders, in fact it was clear that Al Nassr had chance to win but the result was not as expected.

Look, there is no Talisca, Ronaldo will clearly have more difficulty in every attack attempt because Talisca plays very important role in Ronaldo success in creating opportunities and making it easier for Al Nassr to win every match.
If there is Talisca then I sure that Al Nassr will be guaranteed to be the winner and can beat Al Hilal in the last match of the season as well as win the Saudi Arabian King Cup, they fought in the penalty round and Al Hilal who won with difference of 1 point, was superior.

SPL is the new trend for players that have zero zeal for the European football, nothing to proof but move straight to the winning phase. Real Madrid will missed out on experienced players this season, I know this is tough for Real Madrid but they will always survive because playing cooperative style of football, it should be their major stream in pushing and accomplishing their goals. Nacho Hernandez will make his exits and look into offers from Saudi Pro League because this is probably one of the close former teammates of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Looking at the numbers, there's no doubt to the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo have done exceptionally well to help his darling Al Nassr win trophies this season but unfortunately for the Portuguese superstar, his contributions weren't enough to help his club win any trophy in the just concluded season. The club management i think should go back to the drawing board and start try get more quality players to the team ahead of next season especially in the defense. Al Nassr's defense line I think is weak and if it can be strengthened, I think Al Nassr will definitely be winning lots of trophies come next season if Cristiano Ronaldo can as well continue with his impressive goalscoring form. Al Nassr will surely be great again of the club management does the right thing

Al Nassr finished the season as the runner-up. It is strange if you claim Al Nassr performance is very poor.
I know Al Nassr failed again to win the title of Saudi league but it is untrue if they are very poor. They won't finish in 2nd place if they are very poor. Anyway, if you take a look the squad quality, Al Nassr has enough top players. As far as I know, Al Nassr is in the 2nd position if we count the market value of the squad.

This is totally non sense! I guess you don't follow the matches on Saudi league.  
If you follow the league, you must be aware that Ronaldo becomes the top scorer this season. He even made a new record, he scored 35 goals in 1 season. As an individual player, Ronaldo performed quite well. He contributed better than the previous season. But Al Nassr still can't be the champion because Al Nassr has bad defense in this season. It is wrong if you blamed Ronaldo's performance.

Every season is Al Nassr chance. I hope they won't fail again.  
Sure. If Al Nassr want to be the champion, they need a better defense. Buying some defenders in the next transfer window is the way to improve it. But they must also improve a bit their midfield line, I think it looks not strong enough. In some matches, they failed to dominate the ball possession. It indicates the midfielders are not good enough to control the match.

This season, Al-Nassr can be so sure that they have a whole lot of work to do in their team because they have failed not to be able to win any title this season. This means that they have a lot to do in the team  especially in the part of the defense because at this point they have conceded quite some great number of goals and that can’t help them in their bid to winning titles.

 Cristiano ⁠Ronaldo coming into the club has been one great deal for the club because of how much he brings into the club both performance wise and in leadership style. Now at this point, you can say that Al-Nassr losing out on titles has made Ronaldo feel bad and that makes him real hungry and Al-Nassr will have to capitalize on this next season by working on their team especially.

 Next season of course, Al-Nassr can be able to challenge for the title if only they’re able to build up their team. Now this sunmer, I think the club board can put more energy in signing up young and vibrant defenders that are hungry for more. At this point, Cristiano Ronaldo's huge impact and passion can be taken into major consideration and going on the club ought to be real careful in their signings so as to be able to challenge for title next season.

But it would be extraordinary if it turned out that Nacho came here to the SPL. And gathered with other former Real Madrid stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema. but if his decision is to go to MLS then that is also a good thing for him. It's just that now there are definitely more people hoping that Nacho will go to the SPL. Because somehow I personally am always happy to see other great players join the SPL. And makes the SPL even more lively and has increasingly fierce competition from season to season.

Yesterday is fantastic moment for Nacho because as a captain he can able to bringing Real Madrid to get 15th Champions League title and this could be very special too for Toni Kroos who decide to retired and about Nacho career he was playing with Real Madrid since 2011 and Nacho has been gets plenty of trophies with this team and indeed his contract will be ended this summer and since several months ago it was confirmed Real Madrid will not give him contract extension which mean this is his last season with Real Madrid but Nacho has been confirmed in the next few days he will decide his future and his next destination club

If Nacho really leave this summer then he will not force himself to play in Europa which mean Nacho are thinking possibility to playing outsides Europa so that's why some of MLS teams and Saudi Pro League teams were showing their interest to him however some people have been predict his next destination club because Nacho is more likely to interested to joining MLS team rather than Saudi Pro League and why he choose MLS because since in Real Madrid he want to playing on that league someday

I agree that Al-nassr played well throughout this season. But Al-Hilal is still better than Al-Nassr this season. Al-Nassr has shortcomings in their midfield and back line. But it has very strong attack power. So there is an imbalance there. What makes Al-Nassr score a lot of goals but also concede a lot. This is different from Al-Hilal which has good attack power but also has an equally good midfield and back line so this team looks perfect. That is, they scored the most goals but conceded the fewest goals. So Al-hilal really deserves the championship title. And congratulations to Al-Hilal for finishing this season very well.

But actually we watched this SPL initially because of our interest in Cristiano Ronaldo who came to Al-nassr so it is true that Al-hilal is still less popular than Al-nassr. But Al-hilal amazed us because they showed that there is a very solid squad in the SPL who managed to get an unbeaten record throughout this season in the SPL.

For me, Al Hilal is not as you say about faring better than Al Nassr, but for a long time Al Hilal has been one of the elite teams in this competition. It would be very natural if Al Hilal were more established, because they play collectively and really emphasize teamwork. Apart from that, everything involved in the club is handled by competent people. That's why Al Hilal achieved many achievements in various competitions.

Al Nassr, is the most competitive team compared to other teams, they have Ronaldo, Mane, Brozovic, Talisca, and several other players. Unfortunately, at the start of the season Al Nassr did not perform at their best so they lost several points. At the same time, Al Hilal displayed a very good performance and until the end of the competition they were undefeated. In the history of the Saudi Pro League in the last decade, these two teams are rivals who have had fierce competition.

So, Al Hilal doesn't need to thank Al Nassr as you said. The reason is, both clubs are managed by the same owner. although, club management is completely handled by the previous shareholders who are currently in the minority. PIF had planned in advance to bring in Ronaldo, after which several European players and coaches also arrived. After all, the funds disbursed were issued by the same company. in addition, Al Ittihad and Al-Ahli are part of the same PIF. So, the Saudis had designed this long ago in their project. one of them, to appoint Arabia to host the world cup in 2030. plus, while introducing Saudi Pro League football in international eyes.

Just after the season ended and we are getting close to the transfer window, some players are getting linked to the Saudi teams again and especially some older players like Salah and Robert Lewandowski, however, Lewandowski already said he is not going to leave and he prefers to stay in Barcelona, but the other player linked Al Nassrt in Nacho the captain of Real Madrid.
Nacho just won the Champions League yesterday with Real Madrid but Ronaldo contacted him and he wants to make this player leave Real Madrid for Al Nassr to end his career there. Nacho is a 35-year-old player.

Right now we are having no official reports about how things are going to work in this transfer window because due to last season huge investments things were not as the organizers were thinking so in this transfer window we will be not have spending like last season which can make big difference even many clubs are in talk with few top players for having spots into their clubs, but there is nothing officially anything about this as Mohammad Salah is also having change in mind with he is going to stay in Liverpool for one more season and few more players are also having not positive response.

This all is interesting but still we can have all updates after Euro 2024 which is going to start in few days and right now all players are trying to give their best for this event which is important for them.

Al Nasr has performed well this season but in contrast Al Hilal has done better. Al Hilal have fared better than Al Nasser, winning all other tournament titles including the league title this season. This season is full of achievements for Al-Hilal. But they should be thanked for the competition that Al Nasr played because it was their competition that we are discussing here.

Obviously, losing the King's Cup final was very painful. Al Nassr had chances, but Al Hilal played well. Simply put, we didnt act. Now, Ronaldo is the best. He's a winner and a grand king. Nevertheless, he cant handle it by himself. The team has to step up and make the most of its chances, even if they are penalty kicks.

What do you think, though? Problems are fun for me. This is just more firewood. We are going to bounce back from this loss stronger and better. Our team is getting stronger by adding top players, and we'll be back next season even more hungry. Nothin' yet in this league. It will be Al Nassr who wins. That title is going to be ours.

Congratulations to Al Hilal on winning their second trophy of the season. Al Hilal dominated the final game against Al Nassr and scored the first goal in the 7 minute start of the match, I believe if weren't for the red card that Al-Bulayi received in the second half Al Nassr would have lost the game before the penalty shootout. However, ever since Talisca's injury and will miss the rest of the season, I began to doubt Al Nassr's performance because they did not have any attacking players like him. Al Nassr does not have the same professional players as Al Hilal, so I doubted their ability to win the King's Cup over Al Hilal this season.

Al Nassr players are very annoying, I don't like their way of playing. If we remove Cristiano Ronaldo no one will be good with the penalty shot, I thought it was only their defense that was weak, I don't know that they are not good at playing penalties. Although this is the same mistake they had in the Afc Champions League and got eliminated by Al Ain, Cristiano Ronaldo was the only player who was able to score the penalty, the rest of the players missed. The same error wasted Ronaldo's chance of winning his second Kings Cup trophy.

I think Al Nassr needs to get more players, if they want to compete with Al Hilal next season because Al Hilal has strong players this season, they played 34 games unbeaten this season. If Al does not get more quality players next season, I believe they will have another trophyless season.

Al Nassr must retain Ronaldo because his performance is still very good. He is the top scorer for Al Nassr and is the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League, so actually that is quite a reason why Al Nassr should keep this one star player. Not only on the playing side, but on the business side, these players are very profitable, both for the club and for the league itself. We cannot deny that the Saudi Pro League's popularity level increased rapidly after its arrival.

He also hasn't achieved anything here, so next season he still has the opportunity to bring Al Nassr a title, especially the Saudi Pro League title. It's just that this is their duty as a club, because their performance is still no better than Al Hilal, so that's what makes them fail to become champions. They have to do their best for next season and I am sure they will be able to do it as long as they really improve their weaknesses this season.
