The day has come, now Al Hilal from this league has the chance to show to the world how good they can be against one of the biggest team of europe in a official torunament. I know Real Madrid is now under a new coach and maybe doesnt give a fuck about this tournament, but still a good chance to Al Hilal to show how much they can do to the world.
The results are out for their match against Real Madrid, honestly I didn't expect them to be able to produce such a result considering they still had more Real Madrid key players in the line-up. If they can get a result like this against Real Madrid, I think we can expect even better results from them against the other 2 teams, there are still Salzburg & Pachuca.
Although there are rumors about Real Madrid's new coach and his approach to the tournament, Al Hilal's performance in this match proved that they can compete on the world stage. In other words, there is some room for how serious Real Madrid was in this match. It is certain that Al-Hilal will have an easier time competing with other teams. Arda Güler entered in the second half and hit the post with one shot, there were some good moments in the match, there were not many deficiencies in the Real Madrid squad, despite this, Al Hilal pushed Real Madrid hard.
