It's better to call them local champions, nah! Al-Hilal dominated the Saudi Pro League season but failed to get past the AFC Champions League semifinal. I'm frustrated that Al-Hilal was knocked out by a team from the United Arab Emirates. While they steamrolled through the Saudi League, they had a poor record in the AFC Champions League. Fans are disappointed following the loss of the Saudi giants, Al Hilal.
The Saudi King's Cup is set to start on Friday, May 31st. Al Hilal and Al Nassr will now compete for the King's Cup trophy. Ronaldo has sent Al-Nassr to the final, and it's his last chance to end the season with a trophy. Honestly, their battles are always a treat to watch.
Yes, even though in the Saudi Arabian League Al Hilal is a strong team and has not been defeated, in the Asian level competition (Champions League), Al Hilal has not been able to do much. This means that Al Hilal has to improve it next season, because if you look at its performance this season, in my opinion it is very perfect. Maybe Al Hilal just needs to sharpen the players on the front line and also maximize the players in the midfield. Because if you look at the performance of the defensive players, you could say that Al Hilal is indeed strong at the moment. The reason is that when they lost to Al Ain in the semifinals of the Champions League, Al Hilal only lost by 1 goal on aggregate. Well, actually at that time Al Hilal had the opportunity to qualify for the final round, but unfortunately they were just unlucky and the front line players did not play optimally at that time. Maybe if next season Neymar can return to playing again, Al Hilal's front line will definitely be sharper. And the possibility of being able to compete in the Asian Champions League will definitely be maximized (perhaps becoming champion or runner up).
And for the King's Cup final, this match will definitely be very exciting to watch. Because in this match we will definitely see the hard efforts that Ronaldo and his teammates will make to fight for the trophy. I can't predict for sure about this final match. But if you look at the current performance of Al Nasr and Al Hilal, it is likely that it will end in a penalty shootout. Because even though this season Al Hilal have never lost to Al Nasr, Al Nasr certainly cannot be underestimated in this match. Because if Castro was able to come up with good strategies and tactics in this match, it is very likely that Al Hilal would have had a very difficult time winning the match. So in essence, this final match will be difficult to predict.
