What to know about the Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr game
This high-stakes, all-in match is preceded by a history of over 170 official matches, with Al-Hilal historically dominating (with 19 league titles). Matches between these two Saudi legends tend to serve up rivalry, drama and controversial decisions nearly every time (if not every time). The rivalry began with the first official meeting in the King’s Cup in 1964, long before any of the big international names joined the league (although that has added a certain edge to the already nail-biting matches). The match will see the GOAT CR7 take on Al-Hilal’s iconic Karim Benzema in this all-in, heated match.
