In the last ten meetings with Al Hilal, Al Nassr has lost six, drawn one, and won three.On April 19, Al Nassr was defeated 0-2 by Al Hilal, and Cristiano Ronaldo performed poorly.
Ronaldo stunned everyone by “fighting” in Al Nassr’s loss to Al Hilal last April.
Al Hilal has performed admirably on his way to the Arab Club Champions Cup final.Despite having just 10 men on the field since the 25th minute, this squad eliminated Karim Benzema’s Al Itihad in the quarterfinals and defeated Al Shabab 3-1 in the semi-finals.
Al Hilal’s squad is likewise slightly better than Al Nassr’s.The cult vertical axis of coach Jorge Jesus’ army includes midfielder Kalidou Koulibaly, center midfielder Ruben Neves, attacking midfielder Milinkovic-Savic, and striker Malcom.
Furthermore, the Saudi Arabia team’s cornerstones such as Saud Abdulhamid, Mohamed Kanno, Yasser Alshahrani, and particularly striker Salem Al Dawsari – who set up a great product to bring a 2-1 victory over Argentina in the 2022 World Cup.
However, Al Hilal will be outmatched by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in the Arab Club Champions Cup final.Because goalkeeper Abdullah Al Mayouf was sent off against Al Shabab in the semi-finals and will be suspended.
