^^^ 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.

I've been constantly saying that Al Nassr's problem lies with the coach, unfortunately Ronaldo was very unlucky to be in a team that doesn't win anything, in a team where the management has no idea how to manage the team well to win titles, so that a team win titles and this team needs to have a good coach, a team that has good players but does not have an experienced coach who has already won many titles, so this team will not win anything. You don't need to be a genius to understand this and Al Nassr's management has made very wrong choices when hiring a coach

well, the good work of the Al Hilal coach is visible:



In all the teams where the Al Hilal coach was coach, he always left a good story, he won titles and made the teams he coached play well, I hope that one day he will also be able to coach a great premier team league or la Liga or serie A and win titles, because he is an excellent coach who has proven this many times.

Congratulations Al Hilal on the achievement

Maybe Ronaldo would not have accepted this strategy because we all know he likes to score goals and be the center of attraction. Al Nassr failed again to beat Al Hilal to win something this season, they managed to drag the game to extra time, but they still could not just take the opportunity to win the game even on penalties. Al Hilal get their third trophy for this season after Ronaldo must have felt he was going to celebrate winning something with his team, another disappointment, maybe next season will be better.

Finally, Al Hilal managed to defend the King's Cup title after beating Al Nassr in a penalty shootout. as I previously thought, if Al Hilal would score first. yeah, Mitrovic scored after 7 minutes of the game. Uniquely, both teams both received red cards. one red card for goalkeeper Al Nassr, two red cards given by the referee to Al Hilal. Al Nassr, who received a red card first, was finally able to equalize after Ali Albuaybi was sent off for a red card. After that, Koulibaly followed his colleague who was given a red card. However, in the extra time there were no goals scored by either team, so in the end the battle had to be resolved through a penalty shootout. and yeah, the final result is Al Hilal winning the King's Cup.

In this match, Bono became the Man of the Match who saved the goal he was guarding. Several times Ronaldo had opportunities, but was denied by the Al Hilal goalkeeper. Al Hilal's front line, Michel, Malcom, Al Dawsari played with a very good performance, including Mitrovic who scored a goal for his team at the start of the first half.
In the Al Nassr camp, Brozovic did not play as he should. besides that, Otavio is the same. Mane, not so impressive. Meanwhile, Ronaldo tried his best but unfortunately every opportunity he had was thwarted by the Al Hilal goalkeeper. well, Al Hilal successfully won two trophies this season. Meanwhile, Al Nassr, next season must carry out evaluations and overhauls to become champions of the League and in several other competitions. Final words, congratulations to Al Hilal.

Al Nassr have been very impressive this season when they're facing any other club except one and that's Al Hilal. The Saudi Pro League champions have played against their league runners up in not less than five different occasions this season of which they never lost any but rather won most of them. Before the Kings Cup final today, I was of the opinion that Al Nassr might eventually get the better of their biggest rivals in the Saudi Pro League but little did I know that the league champions aren't tired of defeating Al Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo despite his numerous number of goals this season finished the season without winning a single trophy for his club and I know how disappointing he must be feeling after the final whistle was sounded. It was a very tough game that ended in a penalty shootout but it still didn't stop Al Hilal from adding the trophy to their already won trophies of the season.

Yes, the match ended with a penalty shootout, and Al-Hilal eventually clinched the King's Cup this season. As I mentioned earlier, Bounou was the standout goalkeeper, managing to anticipate almost all of Al-Nassr's shots despite failing to save some. Al-Nassr players couldn't capitalize on their chances effectively. It seems Ronaldo might be feeling disappointed, or perhaps he feels like he failed to deliver the trophy to Al-Nassr this season.

Sadio Mane hasn't been at his best for Al-Nassr this season, both in the Pro League and in other matches. He hasn't shown the same level of aggression as he did at Liverpool previously. The duel between Sadio Mane and Ronaldo didn't provide anything surprising, in fact, Ronaldo performed better when playing alongside Talisca.

This was what Al Nassr ought to have been doing since. Every team they play always focus on stopping C. Ronaldo, Al Nassr would have prepared someone else that will be doing the scoring will C. Ronaldo assist them since two players are dedicated to stop him in most of them matches. This could have turned into some kind of strategy if I were the coach. Again, Al Hilaal overpowered Al Nassr on penalty even after that beautiful equalizer from Ayman Yahya. I think Al Nassr have tried their best, luck is not just on their side so they have to accept defeat and prepare for next season. It was a good win for Al Hilaal and they truly won everything that needed to be won in the Saudi League.

As they are defending against Ronaldo not to score them, they will give an opportunity to another player to score and this has happened because  Yahya has scored in the 88 minute and the game has become more entertaining. This is the last chance for Ronaldo and Al nassr to win a trophy this season and they deserve it because of how good they have being playing. They have just been unlucky not to win the league this season because of their poor start to the season. The game is in the extra time and the score is still a draw. Two Al Hilal players have gotten a red card in the last minutes of the match. Bulaihi got his red card in the 87th minutes and Koulibaly got his at the 90th minute. The game should be in the favour of Al Nassr as they have more players on the field.

Ronaldo may end up really frustrated because Al Hilal scored so early in the game, and at that point he would have been thinking that they were going to get one goal back and turn the game around, but they have not and the game just has less than 20 minutes in it until it is over. The same blueprints with which Al Hilal defeated Al Nassr three times already this season before is the same tactics and method that they have used in this game and it has worked still. Good defending from Al Hilal to stop Ronaldo who has been on a scoring spree.

It is obvious that Al Hilaal is superiors to Al Nassr because they have defeated them beyond reasonable doubt this season. The last time they met, Al Nassr had the opportunity of leading them by a lone goal up to dying minutes of the match but as fate might have it, Al Hilaal equalized. From that day I gave up the hope of Al Nassr getting a win over Al Hilaal.

If this match end this way, it means that Cristiano Ronaldo will be ending this season winning nothing. Indeed I never thought that the duo of Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo will not be enough to snatch any of the trophy from Al Hilaal.

The first half of the match has concluded, with Al-Hilal leading 1-0 against Al-Nassr. Al-Nassr continues to strive for an equalizer, but to no avail. There have been several opportunities created by Ronaldo, but the Moroccan goalkeeper continues to thwart Ronaldo's shots. I believe Al-Hilal is very fortunate to have acquired the best goalkeeper of the World Cup, Bounou.

Just because some teams are spending more money, doesn't mean that they are doing much better, they are just doing whatever they can, but sometimes it just doesn't work at all. I believe that the best thing to do in this case is to realize that we are not going to get wins just because we hired players.

Like for example, Neymar was given so much money but provided nothing at all, do we put him into consideration as well? Dude has been injured so commonly ever since he left Barcelona, and to be fair he is not doing well here neither, played like one or two games and then stopped. That goes into calculation? I do not think so, I believe he should be exempt as well. All in all, money will not get you a title, and manager alone won't neither, it's combination of everything.

Guys i already said it multiple times, Al Hilal have taken the time of how Al Nasrr play, so they are gonna win this game very easy, they know how to play and where are the weaknest of the Cristiano Ronaldo team.

The only good thing for the Ronaldo team is they need to win something this year, and this can be a very good balm for them after losing the league so early.

Al Nassr must move actively in the transfer window to improve the depth of their squad, especially their defense line if they have the ambition to win the Saudi Pro League trophy next season. It would be useless if Ronaldo continued to score lots of goals and become the league top scorer every season, it wouldn't mean anything if Al Nassr conceded a lot. This season Al Hilal appeared quite impressive by being undefeated, no team was able to tackle them, in fact next season Al Hilal is predicted to continue to appear dominant. To be able to win the Saudi Pro League trophy, Al Nassr must build a more even squad depth, there is no other solution to match Al Hilal consistency in winning the trophy.

Meanwhile, soon we will watch the final between Al Hilal versus Al Nassr in the King Cup of Saudi Arabia. This is a big opportunity for Ronaldo to win the trophy, even though we know that victory tends to favor Al Hilal. If Al Nassr doesn't want to end the season without a title, that means they have to be able to beat Al Hilal, this is also the best opportunity to give Al Hilal their first defeat in domestic competition. However, Al Hilal has a bigger chance, they have the potential to win a double title this season, we'll see who will come out on top.
