Not sure what makes Ittihad FC far from consistent this season, they have often been disappointing, after improving after the Asian Cup break but now they have shown their decline again, and losing to Abha 1-3 was one of the worst, because of their opponent is a weak team whose initial predictions would not even give Ittihad FC much resistance, but the opposite happened.
Even though they controlled the game, Ittihad experienced many failures to penetrate Abha's defense, which tended to play defensively, but the bad thing was for Ittihad because Abha was actually very effective when controlling the ball and managed to score three goals and one from a penalty kick, showing how Ittihad failed to maintain their defense while attacking, two Abha's goal came in just four minutes, making Ittihad unable to turn things around.

We should see if finally, Al Nassr can beat Al Hilal to win the trophy in this season or not. We have known Al Hilal the games against Al Nassr many times and this team even made Al Nassr to lose the Saudi League title while Al Nassr played with full power and used players like Ronaldo but they couldn't beat Al Hilal. I think this time Al Nassr is going to take revenge and since they played against Al Hilal they learned many lessons about the tactics and strategy of this team which is enough for them to beat Al Hilal.
That's very important for Ronaldo and I think he will try to do his best in this match to win the three points.
That's very important for Ronaldo and I think he will try to do his best in this match to win the three points.
Al-Nassr manager Luis Castro should have devised a strategy on how to defeat their arch-rival Al Hilal. Both teams have met eight times this year and the champions won six matches while Al Nassr won one and one game ended in a draw. Al Nassr should win this because it is the only way they could win a trophy this season. The coach should consider using counter-attacks and the players should avoid picking red cards. In these eight games, Al Nassr players got red cards in three of them.
C.Ronaldo has even had a positive impact not only on Al-Nassr but also on football competitions in Saudi Arabia, especially in the SPL. And yes, at the Al-Nassr club, this player who is almost 40 years old is still the best. This is proven by remaining the top scorer there to date. Mane is good but he is not as sharp as C.Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is having a good time in the Saudi Professional League. They might not have won many trophies but they are the best-performing team besides league leaders Al Hilal. The Portuguese international has been able to succeed in almost all the leagues he has played football. There were debates concerning his intended transfer to the Gulf nation with a side saying that he would not succeed in the league. But from what we have seen the striker has made his mark on the league scoring about 60 goals in 65 matches since he joined the club.
Al Nassr won the game against Al Khaleej and they can now have the chance to win one trophy in this season.
Since they lost the Saudi League to Al Hilal, now the King's Cup is the last chance for them. Al-Nassr is going to play in the final match against Al Hilal and once against these two teams should play against each other which can be hard for Al Nassr because even in the last games they had against Al Hilal they could never beat this team even with players like Ronaldo in their team.
Since Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in 2023 they couldn't win as many titles as they were expecting and they just won the Arab Club Champions Cup which is not good for a player like Ronaldo and this gave him to have the motivation of playing with better performance this time against Al Hilal hoping to beat this team.
Of course Al Nassr has one chance to win the trophy this season after beating Al Khaleej with a convincing score. Even though their next opponent is the strong team Al Hilal, I am sure Al Nassr will be determined to win the Arab Club Champions Cup because that is their only hope of getting a trophy after failing to compete in the SPL with Al Hilal.Since they lost the Saudi League to Al Hilal, now the King's Cup is the last chance for them.

Since joining Al Nassr in 2023, I am proud of my idol (Cristiano) he is already 39 years old but he never stops scoring goals and goals. Even though there are ups and downs, I always believe in Ronaldo, he is a person who never gives up. Of course, your personality and determination will have an impact on Al Nassr as a whole so that you can be motivated to continue winning.
We should see if finally, Al Nassr can beat Al Hilal to win the trophy in this season or not.

Mane is good but he is not as sharp as C.Ronaldo.I also heard the same rumors about everything you said. But let's see. And currently it's not just C.Ronaldo who is enjoying a peaking career in Saudi Arabia. but his son also did the same thing. He has even achieved several achievements there. So retiring there might indeed become a reality and no longer a rumor someday.
Teams in the Arabian league spend a lot of money to buy star players from clubs in the European league and their efforts don't seem to be in vain.

This might seem like good news for Al Nassr but remembering that Al Hilaal is still in that competition is something that should make one not to celebrate yet. With what Al Hilaal is playing, I do not think there is anything that will make them lose the King's cup to Al Nassr. They have been so spectacular this season with a record that seems like a new standard in Saudi football. They won Al Nassr like children in their league match encounter so I do not see anything being different in this cup tournament. The next encounter will not really be different from that of their ast cup meeting that Al Hilaal won by two goals to one.

Al Taawon 0 - 3 Al Hilal
excellent victory for Al Hilal, in this game that on paper was a complicated game for Al Hilal, on the field it became a very easy game for Al Hilal especially with Aleksandar Mitrović on the field, he scored 1 goal. as expected from the great player he has been this season at Al Hilal. In that game, Al Hilal managed to score 3 goals and did not concede any goals and with this victory, Al Hilal is 2 games away from becoming champions. Looking at Al Hilal's next 2 games we have the following scenario:
Al Ahli Saudi - Al Hilal
well, looking at Al's last 5 games - Ahli Saudi won in 2 games, drew in 2 games and lost in 1 game
In my opinion, this will be a game in which Al Hilal will come out victorious
Al Hilal - Al Hazm
Al Hazm is the worst team in the league, they are currently at the bottom of the table, in the last 5 games they have only had 1 victory. they had 2 draws and 2 defeats.
In my opinion, it will be in this game against Al Hazm that Al Hilal will celebrate winning the title. they had an excellent campaign this season. They played very well even without having a squad made up of very famous players, they played against teams that have a squad made up of very famous players and even so they managed to win and become champions in that game against Al Hazm.

When Neymar was signed by Saudi club Al Hilal while he was still at PSG, Al Hilal signed Neymar with the possibility that Neymar would suffer an injury after signing and could be sidelined for the entire season. To catch up, Saudi club Al Hilal bet heavily on Neymar and that bet lost Al Hilal. Even if they didn't get good performance from Neymar or didn't get Neymar's services for the whole season, all the other players of the team didn't understand that lack at all. The team has performed well with all the other players in the team and is very close to winning the Al Hilal League title this season. If Neymar is fully fit next season and if he wants to stay in Saudi Arabia for one more season, Al Hilal's performance will definitely be better.
Neymar was originally Al Hillal's hope to win the championship this season and of course Al Hillal hoped that Neymar's arrival would make the club's prestige lifted as was the case when Ronaldo was contracted by Al Nassr, but unfortunately for Al Hillal, after bringing Neymar at a fairly high price from PSG which is around 90 million euros Neymar was only able to play in 5 matches by scoring 1 goal before he really rested because of his severe injury, I think Al Hillal should have reviewed Neymar's injury history before they bought him, so far Neymar has a history of quite severe injuries and according to the news I read, Neymar has been seriously injured 16 times in the last 7 seasons, indeed it is not wrong to gamble by signing Neymar but I think Al Hillal should not have paid up to 90 million euros to get him from PSG.This season is indeed quite a great season for Al Hillal, although without Neymar, Al Hilal this season has a great chance to get the SPL championship with an unbeaten record, besides that Al Hilal has also won 1 Saudi Arabian Super Cup trophy and even Al Hilal still have a chance to add to their trophy this season after they managed to reach the final round of the Saudi Arabian King Cup, Neymar is under contract until the end of next season, but I think it's better for PSG to sell or release Neymar at the end of the season to be able to get another player who is indeed better and of course can Contribute for Al Hillal next season.
Poor Cristiano he is giving everything he can but still cant win anything big with the Al Nasrss.
This is a normal thing in football, when a player can give something good but he can't get anything, because here what matters is the whole team, not individuals. We can see Harry Kane at Tottenham. When he was with Tottenham he always gave his best, he could even become top scorer, but that didn't mean he could win any titles while in the Tottenham uniform. In fact, if you look at his appearance, he really deserves a title, but unfortunately it's not that easy.This also happened to Ronaldo with Al Nassr, even though his performance was very good, he was not able to get anything big. It's not easy, especially since Al Nassr, who is his current team, is not the only big team, in fact there is a team that is better than them, namely now. It's quite sad because I also see that he really deserves a title this season. But everything can't always go according to desire.
Yes, I know that the SPL will change or stop buying European players at high prices, but the same thing will really not apply to teams that really need these European players for better development.
If just stick with what have, will clearly be left behind by other teams considering that some team have really got the right players and can improve their overall performance and for team that don't keep up with developments, they will definitely be left behind.
Just look at Al Ittihad few seasons ago, they were great and strong team, last season they even managed to become SPL champions, but after many other team brought in the European players, Al Ittihad was left behind and unable to compete well.
Even Al Ittihad was unable to keep up with the competition with Al Taawon and Al Ahli or Al Nassr, this is proof that players will really influence the quality of play of each team and indeed Al Ittihad needs players who can change conditions like this.
And regarding Salah, even though his contract with Liverpool has expired, I not sure Al Ittihad can bring him in on free transfer because Klopp will retire and of course there is new coach who will definitely still ask Salah to extend his contract.
Rather I think a better solution would have been on putting a limit on either the price for signing an European or the number of European players to be signed by the club. These clubs need European players to be signed in order to be able to go through about their league as these players come into the club with wonderful experiences.
It’s evident in the team’s performance this season as you can see Al Ittihad whom used to be one the main teams now turning to a shadow of themselves because they didn’t recruit amy European player. You can see how teams that got European players how they’re now fairing in the league.
Judging from all these cases, I think a perfect solution will be to mix up with the European players but to still keep the league pure, there should be proper restriction on the amount of European players a club can aquire. This will help still maintain the league standard and create a level playing ground for all the teams in the league.
Poor Cristiano he is giving everything he can but still cant win anything big with the Al Nasrss.
In other things Al Hilal is winning 2-0 his game against the fourth team in the qualification Al tawaoun and starting to sealing in math terms the tournament. Gap between the first team and the 4º is 32 points, imagine how dominant is Al Hilal against the rest of the field.

On the other hand, Al Nassr will definitely try as hard as possible, because that is their only hope of winning a trophy, if they fail then they will fast for the title this season. Meanwhile, Al Hilal is confirmed to be the champion of the Saudi Pro League, and they are on their way to adding to their trophy collection. Overall, the competition in the Saudi domestic competition this season does not look very competitive, because Al Hilal looks very dominant even though several other clubs have former European star players. The upcoming transfer window will be the right moment to build the squad, because it is the best way to compete with Al Hilal next season.
Little confusing with Saudi Pro League competition because have many internal competition from Saudi Super Cup won by Al Hilal last several weeks ago and currently have King Cup with the final match between Al Hilal vs Al Nassr. Its competition have been play last several years or its moment to help Cristiano Ronaldo get winning trophy in this season after failure in AFC Champion League, domestic league and last failure on Saudi Super Cup. Currently there are not any Saudi Pro League teams can defeat Al Hilal in this season, Al Nassr have faced several time but never winning matches yet from Saudi League match until Saudi Super League match last several weeks ago.
Al Nassr will again face a team that is very difficult for them to beat in the Arabian Kings Cup, namely Al Hilal. They successfully advanced to the final round after they managed to get rid of Al Khaleej with a score of 3-1. Meanwhile, Al Hilal successfully placed themselves in the final round after they managed to beat Al Ittihad with a score of 2-1, and interestingly they succeeded in beating Al Ittihad with only 10 people playing after their players had to be sent off by the referee in the first half.
Their victory against Al Ittihad is proof of how extraordinary they are this season, because they managed to do it with only 10 players, while we know that Al Ittihad is also not a team that can be underestimated because they are one of the big teams in Saudi Arabia. .
Their meeting in the final will be the umpteenth meeting this season, and interestingly Al Nassr always fails to win when they meet Al HIlal. Will they be able to win this match, and can they avoid the title drought? quite an interesting thing to watch.
It must be admitted that at the domestic level Al Hilal is a frightening team for its competitors, because so far they have not been touched by a single defeat, unfortunately they have failed to show this performance in the Asian Champions League. The Saudi Arabian King Cup final match between Al Hilal Verus Al Nassr is indeed ideal, it will be one of the best big matches this season. Head to head, Al Nassr has not been able to beat Al Hilal this season, who knows, this time they will be lucky. However, on paper Al Hilal are clearly the favorites, and victory tends to be in their favor.Their victory against Al Ittihad is proof of how extraordinary they are this season, because they managed to do it with only 10 players, while we know that Al Ittihad is also not a team that can be underestimated because they are one of the big teams in Saudi Arabia. .

In today's match in Saudi Professional League Al-Ahli Saudi vs Damac two teams entered the field to play. Al-Ahli Saudi team played very well from the beginning to the end of the game and scored 4 goals to win today's match. Damac team scored 1 goal but the players of Damac team Bad performance in today's match for which Damac team lost by 4 goals in today's match. Damac team is in 9th position of the points table. Al-Ahli Saudi is now in 3rd position of the points table.
C.Ronaldo has even had a positive impact not only on Al-Nassr but also on football competitions in Saudi Arabia, especially in the SPL. And yes, at the Al-Nassr club, this player who is almost 40 years old is still the best. This is proven by remaining the top scorer there to date. Mane is good but he is not as sharp as C.Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is worse than himself years ago but compares to many younger players, he is better. It's acceptable that Ronaldo can not compare fairly with younger players who are still in their golden times like Mbappe, Haaland but it will not be easy for these players to have their career as long as Ronaldo and can still play welll around 38, 39 years old. We will return to this comparison next 15 years when Haaland and Mbappe will be nearly 40s.Comparing him with Halaand and Mbappe who are in different leagues and very far apart in age is very unfair to Ronaldo, you can compare when Ronaldo was young how great he was, even Haalaand and Mbappe were nothing compared to the player with the number 7 back. Just see when Halaand and Mbappe reach the age of 35 whether their performance can still be said to be as good as Ronaldo.

He has even achieved several achievements there. So retiring there might indeed become a reality and no longer a rumor someday.
He will continue to play when he feels good and his body allows him to play. His boy will debut his professional career soon and will we see Cristiano Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. play together. It can be one of his ambition when trying to prolong his career. 
Al Nassr won the game against Al Khaleej and they can now have the chance to win one trophy in this season.
Since they lost the Saudi League to Al Hilal, now the King's Cup is the last chance for them.

Al Nassr's biggest problem about winning the King Cup of Champions now is that they'll face their biggest rivals of the season Al Hilal in the final of the competition. The two teams have met in four different occasions this season with Al Hilal winning all four meetings and that's why I think it'll be a very difficult game for Al Nassr to meet their biggest rivals again. This time, Al Nassr must put in their best to make sure they get a win in that game against Al Hilal or risk finishing the season without a trophy

Al Itihad owners are idiots or what? I read yesterday some news about them going to buy Salah from Liverpool. Well that is nothing wrong with that, but when we know he only left 1 year in the contract with Liverpool why are you not gonna wait one more year and avoid to pay a ton of money for him?
Do you know who is behind them?Saudi football is full of rich people or billionaires who invest their money for fun and satisfaction, they will do anything with their money and never mind.
Moreover, Salah is not an easy player to get, he was given an offer to play in the SPL since last season but he rejected it and preferred to stay with Liverpool so getting Salah was not an easy thing.
If we only talk about money then it is clear that Saudi will be able to provide large amounts of money compared to staying with Liverpool but this is not just about money but about how Salah can get the title.
Remaining contract will always be extended and if he waits for the contract to expire, he will not necessarily be willing to accept an offer from the Saudi team, Salah is not the type of player who is easily interested by money or large salaries.
did you miss the information that the SPL has rumors of stopping large purchases of European players?
SPL has recently been spending large amounts on European players and if this is done in several seasons it will create huge losses if there is no development because expenditure and income are not equal and this is the main reason why these rumors have emerged here.
and it seems you are also wrong in terms of understanding why billionaires invest money in the SPL to buy players and it is not for fun or satisfaction but with the aim of long term investment to make a profit after the SPL gets promotion to a higher competition.
at this point I think you will understand why @Volgastallion said that Ittihad would be better off waiting until Salah contract ends to redeem the player for a not too large amount.
If just stick with what have, will clearly be left behind by other teams considering that some team have really got the right players and can improve their overall performance and for team that don't keep up with developments, they will definitely be left behind.
Just look at Al Ittihad few seasons ago, they were great and strong team, last season they even managed to become SPL champions, but after many other team brought in the European players, Al Ittihad was left behind and unable to compete well.
Even Al Ittihad was unable to keep up with the competition with Al Taawon and Al Ahli or Al Nassr, this is proof that players will really influence the quality of play of each team and indeed Al Ittihad needs players who can change conditions like this.
And regarding Salah, even though his contract with Liverpool has expired, I not sure Al Ittihad can bring him in on free transfer because Klopp will retire and of course there is new coach who will definitely still ask Salah to extend his contract.
Today Al Hilal will play its match in week 30. The opponent this time is Al Taawon. I think this match will only add to Al Hilal's winning streak in the SPL. Because it looks like Al Taawon will not be able to win the competition against Al Hilal and will most likely lose. The reason is that in the previous match Al Taawon was made helpless by Al Hilal and lost by a fairly landslide score. So at this meeting I think the results will not be much different from the previous results. Therefore, if for example in this match Al Hilal is chosen as a betting option, in my opinion it is the right thing to do. The reason is, Al Hilal's current winning record gives us a clear conclusion, that Al Hilal will not be defeated by any team in the SPL.
And apart from Al Hilal's match with Al Taawon, today Al Ittihad will also compete against Abha. In this match, I am sure Al Ittihad can definitely win the match. The reason is that in the last 5 meetings between Al Ittihad and Abha, the result was that Abha always lost to Al Ittihad. So in this match I will definitely bet on Al Ittihad. Because if you look at Al Ittihad's head to head record it is much better than Abha.
