Neymar’s appearance in Saudi Arabia will create an attractive confrontation with Cristiano Ronaldo in the classic match between Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
Neymar joined Al Hilal to form a strong team of many blue shirt stars, including Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, Malcom and Serbia Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Although they just lost in the Arab Club Cup, they quickly proved their strength in the league with a victory to open the new season with Malcom’s hat-trick.
Now, fans have reason to wait for an exciting confrontation between Neymar and Ronaldo, who have faced many times during their time playing in Spain for Barcelona and Real Madrid. So when will the classic Saudi Arabia football match between Al Hilal and Al Nassr take place?
According to the schedule, this much-anticipated clash will take place on November 30 with an unspecified specific time. This confrontation belongs to 15 Saudi Pro League and Al Hilal is the home team. Meanwhile, the second leg will take place on May 16, 2024.
Al Hilal is Al Nassr’s traditional opponent at the national championship when two teams won 8 in the past 10 years, including 5 of the blue shirt team and 3 of the yellow shirt team. In the latest encounter, Al Nassr, despite playing without people, still came back to beat Al Hilal 2-1 in the final of the Arab Club Cup with Ronaldo’s double.
Another confrontation is also expected, that is between Ronaldo’s Al Nassr and Karim Benzema’s Al Ittihad, former teammates who have been together for nearly a decade at Real Madrid. This match takes place on December 14, 2023 and May 27, 2024.
In the first round of the Saudi Pro League, which just started, Al Nassr without Ronaldo in the team lost to Al Ittifaq. Their next match is at home against Al Taawon at 1:00 on August 19.
