It is really sad that a strong team like Real Madrid drew the match against Al Hilal, even though they are the strongest team in La Liga, they did not win. If I were less, maybe Real Madrid could easily beat Al Hilal in this match but it was very difficult and the whole match was very interesting. I am watching this match and in the first half both teams scored one goal each and there was a draw. Although many imagined that Real Madrid would come back in the second half of this match but they failed to come back instead Al Hilal team attacked and defended strongly. Anyway these two teams played well from start to finish and both teams had almost equal ball possession, moreover the Group H point table is equal in points for both teams.

I don't understand why people doesn't treat the Saudi clubs with respect. A lot of Europeans abuse these clubs, claiming that they are just using the money power to lure players away from Europe. I don't see anything wrong with this. What the European clubs did for the last 50 years or so, the Saudis are doing for the last 2-3 years. BTW, the match was very closely fought. I was hoping for a win from Al Hilal, but they settled for a draw. Ball possession was almost evenly split (with Real slightly ahead).

People mostly see the Saudi pro league as a weak league where players who are due for retirement go and settled I think such mentality shouldn't be considered any more because most teams in Europe also find it difficult to win any team in the Saudi Arabia league, I had full confidence that Real Madrid is going to defeat Al Hilal since they posses more strength and quality players than that of Al Hilal but they disappointed and later settle for a draw.
I think no team or league should be underated as long as football is concerned.
