When Al Hilal defeated Manchester City and the margin of defeat was very high, we expected more from Al Hilal in the Club World Cup, but in their next match, Al Hilal tried but could not bring the result in their favor. What they did was the highest and more than expected, after the start of the season, when Manchester City became Al Hilal's opponent, we thought that maybe Al Hilal's journey was over here because we did not think in any way that Al Hilal could defeat Manchester City, but Al Hilal defeated Manchester City. If Al Hilal works more with their club and recruits some more players, their performance will improve and they will make more names from the Saudi league.
Al-Hilal made a remark in the world cup 2025, and a good prove to the world that the Saudi Arabia pro league is a top league. It was a nice outing by AlHilal and a prove that every leagues are getting stronger. Al Hilal has to buy more players and strengthening the team for the next season.
They were not good last year and if they fail to buy players they might not win any title again, many clubs in the Saudi league are getting better and more players are getting in from Euro. A win against Manchester city was a great one for the saudi league.
Al Hilal lost their previous coach, Jorge Jesus. But Al Hilal was fortunate to immediately acquire a world-class coach like Simone Inzaghi. So, I believe Al Hilal will have another outstanding season with their new coach. Even if Al Hilal doesn't buy many new players in the current transfer window, I still think they will have an exceptional season. We've already seen their quality at the Club World Cup.
However, Al Nassr will be a tough competitor, as Jorge Jesus is now the coach of Al Nassr. And I'm confident Al Nassr will be even more exceptional under Jorge Jesus.
