Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[TelolettOm]

Currently Ronaldo is the top scorer in Saudi Pro League, he scored 22 goals while Mitrovic is behind 2 goals from him. But Al Hilal is a solid team, so any player can score a goal without Mitrovic. While in Al Nassr, all players depend on Ronaldo to score a goal, this is why I think Ronaldo will become the top scorer even though they didn't become a champion, because Ronaldo is better in individual skill.

Although the league is still long, but it's hard to imagine Al Nassr can become a champion, they have higher chance in AFC Champions League.

Ronaldo can't win the Saudi League trophy alone, he needs the team work. He can be the top scorer but he won't win the trophy if they have weak team work. Al Nassr also has low quality on the defense players. It is very obvious because they already got too many conceded goals. Although Mitrovic isn't as skillful as Ronaldo but he can optimize his ability because the team work. The striker needs the supports from all lines to perform optimally.

The end of the league is not so long, there are still few remaining matches only. However, it is very unlikely for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal because the point gap is too large. Al Nassr only can expect to win the title of AFC but sadly they must face Al Hilal there as well. It won't be easy for Al Nassr, they even are behind 1 goal from Al Ain in AFC. It is rather shameful for Al Nassr.

Anyone here think we can see Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Saudi League at any time? Im refering like going to MLS or something like that?

Because we know him very well and aside of his personal marks he wants to win tournaments and seems like in this Al Nasrr is not gonna happen.

4-4 against Al Hazm at home and 1-3 against Al Raed at home. I think this is sufficient proof that Al Hilal is several times better than Al Nasr and they really deserve the title. Ronaldo wasn't the holy player they needed to dominate the Saudi Professional League. Despite Ronaldo playing that game, they were able to only create 3 serious chances or 3 shots on target. I haven't seen any part of that game, but it's surprising to see that they are losing against some teams that are playing in the relegation zone or are the last position in the table like Al Hazm. Project SPL title failed big time! But Ronaldo probably doesn't care for as long as he becomes the top scorer. That's all he cares about.

Actually, it would be more fun for Ronaldo if he could become the top scorer and at the same time win the Champion trophy. However, Al Hilal appeared more impressive this season by being unbeaten like Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Al Nassr could change their priority scale to the Asian Champions League, who knows, they might be lucky there. But Al Nassr journey was not easy there because they had to work hard to turn things around and catch up with a 1 goal deficit from Al Ain.

12 points adrift of Al Hilal, I consider the competition to be over, Although the SPL has 10 more matches left in the future. It is unrealistic to hope that Al Hilal, who are undefeated, will then experience 4 defeats, so that which will open up Al Nassr opportunity to hunt for trophies again. On the other hand, Al Nassr seems to need to add strength next season if they have ambitions of winning trophies, Ronaldo is getting older and he might be able to stay for another season or two.

Yes, my point was more about the glorification of Ronaldo as someone who can win the league alone without his teammates, but the Al-Hilal team is superior in my opinion. They don't have this one king on the field who is responsible for everything and who is expected to score 4 goals when the opponent scores 3 goals. Al-Hilal does have a top scorer obviously as they are scoring a lot themselves, but they have the same quality in the defense and the midfield.

Now it will be interesting to see what Al-Nassr's ambitions will look like for the next season and whether they try to sign more European superstars for their defense and their midfield. Does anyone think that Ronaldo would extend his contract one more time for another $200 million per season? He doesn't look like he wants to stop playing. He is fit and he is looking forward to at least the European Championship, if not the World Cup 2026.

Since Benzema joined Al Ittihad, he couldn't really have a good relationship with the fans and they are angry to see his performance because Benzema was mostly injured or was not in the good form and this made Al Ittihad fans to even think about being against Benzema.
Also, the poor performance of Al Ittihad made their coach Marcelo Gallardo to think about stopping working with this French player but recently in the conference after the last game, Marcelo Gallardo said he doesn't have any problem with Marcelo Gallardo and they had a normal relationship.

Ittihad FC replaced their old coach because of Karim Benzema. If I'm not mistaken, it was reported that Nuno Espírito Santo didn't like the club's move to only buy old players because he hoped to build a strong team with young players, especially since Benzema's performance did not match expectations and was actually not right if Benzema is compared to Ronaldo because after all Ronaldo is much better than the French player.
Karim Benzema has reportedly asked his agent to find another club in the Saudi pro league because he doesn't really have a place in the hearts of Ittihad FC fans, and in my opinion, if Benzema is true leaving the club is not a problem because when they returned to their best performance it was proven that their old striker was the one who is more productive than Benzema so without him Ittihad FC might even be better.

Karim Benzema before he joined Al Ittihad isn't the kind of player that's demonstrated too much pride but how he's automatically changed since he joined the club have been a very huge surprise to me. He's been having issues with the management and fans of his current club and even threatened them of wanting to leave the club earlier this season and now, it's been reported that the club had to sack their manager Nuno Espírito Santo because Karim Benzema didn't like the manager. It's true that Karim Benzema have won almost everything that is expected of a footballer including the Balon D'or but that doesn't mean that he should be rude to the club that signed him. If he's not interested in football again, he should humbly resign rather than trying to make himself a demigod.

Actually, it would be more fun for Ronaldo if he could become the top scorer and at the same time win the Champion trophy. However, Al Hilal appeared more impressive this season by being unbeaten like Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Al Nassr could change their priority scale to the Asian Champions League, who knows, they might be lucky there. But Al Nassr journey was not easy there because they had to work hard to turn things around and catch up with a 1 goal deficit from Al Ain.

Don't you think Ronaldo is getting too old for us to be asking him to still be performing at the high standards he used to when he was in his prime. Ronaldo is almost getting to 40 years therefore we shouldn't be expecting him to do all the things that you're saying. If he wins the AFC Champions League and also try to win the league, that should be enough accomplishment for a player of his age. He can't be the top goal scorer in every league he goes to and not at this age. What I want most is for Al nassr to win the Saudi pro league because it'll give Ronaldo an accomplishment of winning the league in every league that he has played in. Al Nassr is many points behind Al-Hilal and things are looking impossible for Al nassr to win because Al-Hilal hasn't lost any match and have played the same game as Al nassr.

I don't think anyone is trying to mandate Cristiano Ronaldo to continue delivering the quality football he was delivering in his 20s and early 30s but the Portuguese superstar have taken it upon himself to still put out great performances even when he's less than year before clocking 40 year of age. His club Al Nassr have a very crucial match to play against Al Ain in the AFC Champions League competition this evening. Al Nassr will play the game at home after suffering a 1:0 defeat in the first half of the game and would need to better the result of the away team in the first leg to progress to the next round of the competition

Anyone here think we can see Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Saudi League at any time? Im refering like going to MLS or something like that?

Because we know him very well and aside of his personal marks he wants to win tournaments and seems like in this Al Nasrr is not gonna happen.

Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Al Nassr expiry on 2025 and he has one year contract left before speculating with extend his contract or moving to MLS League, its early predicting with Cristiano Ronaldo future without any rumor or issues he will leaves Al Nassr. Since arrived in Saudi Arabia club last two years he can adapts well and not get problem such as other European players, I think he was excited for playing with Al Nassr and I think get possibilities for him renew contract for one or two years later.
Indeed have many points left from the top position standings team Al Hilal in domestic league, Cristiano Ronaldo still has opportunity for winning AFC Champion League tittle for this season if can win second leg match.

Since cristiano Ronaldo still have more years to spend in his football career and, he has displayed some wonders results in the Saudi Arabia league competition for the whole world to know that there is no place cristiano Ronaldo cannot perform his duty in the football competition.

I know that cristiano Ronaldo will leave Saudi Arabia league once he succeed to help the team to win this trophy, so that he can add it to his record among the things he has achieve from his football career.

His presence in the league is really something to talk to about because since his arrival the league has elevated to some extent. Things would have been easy for him if he was signed to Al Hilal but he is still lucky to have a team like Al Nassr they are not the best but they are trying their best and it is not easy to be the 2nd best in the league. It will be so unfortunate to see them fail to win a trophy this season because they have performed well to some extent and deserves a trophy to their name even if they fail to win a trophy this season i believe Ronaldo will not leave until he finally helps them win a trophy be it this season, next season or the one after. He would do all in his power to make that happen.

A single player can not change a whole team and Cristiano Ronaldo can not help Al-Nassr win all matches. To win matches and win titles, Al-Nassr need to have a strong squad that needs to be strong in both sides, attacking and defense.

They surely have strong attacking side with Ronaldo, Mane, Talisca and some good midfielders like Brozovic, Otavio but in defense side, they are not strong. It is their biggest weakness, Achilles that cost them many defeats. This season is useless for Al-Nassr as they can not win titles in Saudi Professional League and AFC Champions League but it is helpful for them to realize their weakness.

If they can improve their weakness in next summer transfer, they will become stronger next season and can win titles. They need big changes in their defense side to be stronger and we will see what they will do in the summer.

Currently Ronaldo is the top scorer in Saudi Pro League, he scored 22 goals while Mitrovic is behind 2 goals from him. But Al Hilal is a solid team, so any player can score a goal without Mitrovic. While in Al Nassr, all players depend on Ronaldo to score a goal, this is why I think Ronaldo will become the top scorer even though they didn't become a champion, because Ronaldo is better in individual skill.

Although the league is still long, but it's hard to imagine Al Nassr can become a champion, they have higher chance in AFC Champions League.

This is what differentiates Al Nasr and Al Hilal in terms of players. Al Hilal's players all have almost the same qualities, so that when playing a match, Al Hilal can attack from all sides or defend with a strong formation. That way, Al Hilal became unbeatable in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL). This is different from Al Nasr, whose players can be said to be less evenly distributed in terms of quality. Because as you said, Al Nasr only relies on Ronaldo to score goals. So when Ronaldo is not playing or for example Ronaldo is not performing well, then Al Nasr will certainly have difficulty scoring goals. Maybe Talisca can be relied on a little when Ronaldo can't play. But still Talisca is different from Ronaldo so the results are not like Ronaldo.

Apart from that, actually all of this happened because of Al Nasr's own fault. The reason is that in the last transfer market, Al Nasr only focused on buying forward players. As a result, Al Nasr's defense is very weak, and tends to always be passed by opposing players, even though the opponent can be said to be weak. So basically the squad that Al Nasr currently has is unbalanced. Maybe in the next transfer market, Al Nasr will have to buy a very strong defender.

Apart from that, in last night's match, Al Nasr had to accept defeat from Al Ain on penalties, because the aggregate of both teams was the same (4-4). In this way, Al Nasr failed to advance to the next round of the Asian Champions League. In that match, Ronaldo was only able to score 1 goal, and that too through a penalty kick. So from here I am increasingly convinced that Al Nasr really needs to be repaired. Because if not, Al Nasr will definitely continue to be stepped over by other teams (in the SPL or in the ACL).

[PokerBetting]

al nasr with his ronaldo was eliminated from the AFC champions cup. lost to al ain a club from the uni emirates of arabia. lost on penalties and what was sad for ronaldo fans in the penalty shootout only ronaldo was able to score for al nasr.

Since cristiano Ronaldo still have more years to spend in his football career and, he has displayed some wonders results in the Saudi Arabia league competition for the whole world to know that there is no place cristiano Ronaldo cannot perform his duty in the football competition.

Ronaldo talked to al Nassr to extend his contract with the club until he retires but al nassr still gave no response regarding this. The main issue was that Al Nassr did not even respond to Ronaldo's statement about whether the club would be willing to offer him a new contract but ronaldo hopes he can get a new contract to stay in al nassr much longer. Things are getting even more complicated for him because al Nassr will not receive a trophy this season caused by its unable to catch up with al hilal and it may also make al nassr to reconsider ronaldo's offer.  We know he was the one who make it becomes big and this is my main concern for this time. The main mission of al nassr recruit ronaldo to improve the name of saudi pro league.

Ronaldo performance is amazing but his club is unlikely to win the next trophy in the near future caused by al hilal is the biggest obstacle that will never able to be surpassed by the club. Al Nassr is entirely dependent on him to attack its opponents and this is the main problem that shall be solved asap. Ronaldo could not perform good when played for Manchester United coached by ten hag and this is the fact.
His performance has improved since Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr but it is not straight with other players in the club which was still performing so average. There are still many unresolved issues in al Nassr. The club needs to sort it all as soon as possible.

I know that cristiano Ronaldo will leave Saudi Arabia league once he succeed to help the team to win this trophy, so that he can add it to his record among the things he has achieve from his football career.

Ronaldo will not leave the Suadi professional league. He plans to retire from football after playing in this league and he has said that in the past. Better to stay up to date on the latest developments on him. Ronaldo has repeatedly stated that he wants to extend his contract with al nassr club. He was unwilling to go to another club.
I believe many people are aware of Ronaldo's efforts to improve the situation for the club and he tried to do that many times.

Despite Neymar's absence, Al Hilal's unbeaten streak remains outstanding. It shows you dont necessarily need star power to shine, right? While they've kept winning, Neymar's absence highlights the need for savvy signings. Why not find people that are huge game players as well as famous names? Fit-in players who contribute consistently and may help the Saudi Pro League become more competitive. Al Hilal can set an example by showing that success is developed piece by piece with local and international talent. This could be their chance to start a new league trend by focusing on sustainable success without relying on one or two big stars.

Al Hilal's unbeaten record continues to this day and this is all thanks to the hard work of the players who have contributed greatly at this time, especially Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored many goals, making Al Hilal appear strong to this day and this was all done not because of Neymar's interference because Neymar been absent for a long time and only played 3 matches this season so Al Hilal's current strong performance is not entirely due to this star player. However, because of Neymar's absence, Al Hilal continues to be in the spotlight for how they do this even without this star player because basically Al Hilal is a strong club in the Saudi League even without Neymar.

Why is Al Hilal must recruiting new players or looking for smart players? right now they have become a strong club in the Saudi Pro League, I think for now Al Hilal doesn't need that to continue competing if they are able to maintain their performance then their performance will remain strong in competing with other rivals. I know that Al Hilal's goal in recruiting Neymar is not to increase their strength because basically Al Hilal is already strong, it's just to advertise their club because Neymar is a star player so his popularity in the world of football is increasingly highlighted and of course Al Hilal not wanting to be outdone by the popularity of Al Nassr who recruited star players like Ronaldo.

[Lidger]

I'm thinking about the key to success in Al Hilal and how they won the games during this season and had much better performances even than a team like Al Nassr with all the superstars they had in this team.
To be honest, when Al Hilal lost Neymarbeacuse of getting injured while playing for Brazil, I was thinking Al Hilal couldn't have a good performance anymore after this player but I think Al Hilal was not even counting on Neymar because even without Neymar, Al Hilal had perfect performance in the games we saw from them.
However since they have a good financial situation, I think Al Hilal will think about seeking another player to fill the place of Neymar at the end of this season.

Al Hilal will certainly look for a replacement for Neymar next season, their financial strength can recruit any top European player, but not all players will be willing to move because of the Saudi Pro League because the League is not yet very competitive. Neymar injury is very detrimental to the club because he was bought very expensively from PSG, Al Hilal is lucky not to depend on Neymar to win every match, and it is very likely that Al Hilal will win the trophy with an unbeaten record throughout the season.

Despite Neymar's absence, Al Hilal's unbeaten streak remains outstanding. It shows you dont necessarily need star power to shine, right? While they've kept winning, Neymar's absence highlights the need for savvy signings. Why not find people that are huge game players as well as famous names? Fit-in players who contribute consistently and may help the Saudi Pro League become more competitive. Al Hilal can set an example by showing that success is developed piece by piece with local and international talent. This could be their chance to start a new league trend by focusing on sustainable success without relying on one or two big stars.

Al Nasser and Al Hilal have formed a very strong team to outperform other teams in the Saudi league. Al Hilal was already a strong team and they brought in Neymar from PSG to strengthen their team but after few performances Neymar got injured and even though Neymar got injured we didn't see any bad effect on the team. Al Hilal didn't just want to rely on Neymar but they strengthened the entire squad so that if a key player gets injured, the rest of the team can fill in the gaps. Al Hilal will become a more formidable team if Neymar is fit to play.

[Leviathan.007]

Al Itithad is doing what they can, because is really complicated for the manager and the rest of the team the feel of having a magnificent star like Benzema and instead of this being a plus he is making all to being a counterweight for the team, so having their in the 4º position is a lot in this conditions.

Al-ittihad just needs a coach who can differentiate between how to treat star players and those who are not. Conflict between star players and coaches will make the club atmosphere uncomfortable. And this will not only affect the star player and also the coach. But other players will also be dragged along. I would prefer to see a coach who can figure out how to handle a club that has star players. What the Al-Ittihad coach is doing now is more similar to what MU coach Ten Hag did when Cristiano Ronaldo was still at MU. I like the current coaches of al-hilal and al-nassr who know how to deal with clubs that have many star players.

It's not all about the coach but sometimes that's up to the players they buy for their team. Al Ittihad bought Benzema and they were hoping to see a perfect performance from this experienced French superstar player like they saw from him in Real Madrid when he was playing there but he disappointed everyone and had a bad performance this season.
He was mostly injured and now it seems in the game between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal which is an important and hard match for Al Ittihad, Karim Benzema can't help his team in this great match and this can be defiantly harmful to Al Ittihad to send money for this player and get a bad result, especially when we know for Al Ittihad AFC Chmpanios League is an important and great tournament.

[tranthidung]

Ronaldo can't win the Saudi League trophy alone, he needs the team work. He can be the top scorer but he won't win the trophy if they have weak team work. Al Nassr also has low quality on the defense players. It is very obvious because they already got too many conceded goals. Although Mitrovic isn't as skillful as Ronaldo but he can optimize his ability because the team work. The striker needs the supports from all lines to perform optimally.

They worked together but not good enough so they fail in Saudi Professional League and can not win it in this season. Mitrovic is a discovery in Al Hilal and Saudi Professional League this season. By his surprising good season, he contributes a lot to his club domination in the league.

The end of the league is not so long, there are still few remaining matches only. However, it is very unlikely for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal because the point gap is too large. Al Nassr only can expect to win the title of AFC but sadly they must face Al Hilal there as well. It won't be easy for Al Nassr, they even are behind 1 goal from Al Ain in AFC. It is rather shameful for Al Nassr.

AFC?

Al Nassr were kicked out by Al Ain hours ago. Again that match shows their defensive weakness as they scored four goals but got three conceded goals. Cristiano Ronaldo missed a very good chance when he was about 3 meters from the net. If their defense system is stronger, they would beat Al Ain already.

What happened in penalty shoot-outs are simply nightmare for Al Nassr. They have four shots and succeed only one by Ronaldo, three other players failed, Brozovic, Telles and Otávio. Brozovic is very experienced with his national team Croatia in penalty shoot-outs so this failed shot is so surprising.

Brozovic is very experienced with his national team Croatia in penalty shoot-outs so this failed shot is so surprising.

It's really surprising and I don't believe that the Al Nassr team can perform so well up to now, but in this competition I think the players' performance in terms of defensive strength and cooperation between teams is not good. .
It is very unfortunate that the golden opportunity that should have been executed well by the Al Nassr players only resulted in one goal through a penalty shootout by Cristiano Ronaldo. And al Nassr must accept the fact that his team will fail to reach the semifinals tomorrow and it is possible that his hopes and achievements will only end here to become champions of the Saudi Arabian League this season.

[HajiBagi]

4-4 against Al Hazm at home and 1-3 against Al Raed at home. I think this is sufficient proof that Al Hilal is several times better than Al Nasr and they really deserve the title. Ronaldo wasn't the holy player they needed to dominate the Saudi Professional League. Despite Ronaldo playing that game, they were able to only create 3 serious chances or 3 shots on target. I haven't seen any part of that game, but it's surprising to see that they are losing against some teams that are playing in the relegation zone or are the last position in the table like Al Hazm. Project SPL title failed big time! But Ronaldo probably doesn't care for as long as he becomes the top scorer. That's all he cares about.

We fans are the ones who are confused; yes, we know that Ronaldo is a football legend and that he is very good and good at scoring goals, but we should also know that he is not the only player in the league. You are correct when you say that Ronaldo wasn't the only one to dominate the Saudi professional league because he is not the only player in the league. In Al Nassr and Al Ain Saudi champions league yesterday, we saw what happened, Ronaldo is in the field and still they defeat Al Nassr. Ronaldo did everything in his power to ensure that they advanced to the Champions League final, but the way the match unfolded meant that Al Nassr lost and was eliminated by Al Ain.

We should recognise that games can change at times, and we shouldn't expect a team to win every game they play. For example, Ronaldo cannot make up a lost match for himself as a fan; football is an unpredictable sport at times, and we should accept that. As for Al Nassr, I don't think they will win any titles this season because they will not have the same opportunities.

It is indeed very unfortunate to see Al-Nassr fail at the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League. I also didn't expect that Al-Nassr would lose in the penalty shootout. Even though Al-Nassr players should have better qualities that can make them successful even in a penalty shootout. But when it comes to Penalty Shootouts, there is always a luck factor in it. So it is not surprising that strong teams can also lose in a penalty shootout. The only thing I regret is that Al-Nassr failed in this competition and they will also fail in the SPL. Because Al-hilal looks comfortable being at the top of the rankings. In fact, I feel that Al-Hilal could also become the favorite team in the AFC Champions League.

Maybe right now the Al Nassr team is experiencing extraordinary sadness because they were confident from the start and would advance to the final but there was an unexpected problem with the penalty shootout which was not executed properly and perfectly by the Al Nassr players themselves, only Cristiano Ronaldo was the one who was able to score the goal in the penalty shootout.
Indeed, in a football match, the luck factor also has a strong meaning because we can see for ourselves that the Al Nassr squad team, which is predicted to enter the final and will probably meet Al Hilal, will suffer defeat in the quarter-finals of the match against Saudi Arabia this season.
And what you say is true, that currently Al Hilal is still very comfortable and relaxed. Al Hilal certainly sees that this match is a golden opportunity for him to advance to the final and Al Hilal will become a favorite for Saudi Arabian football fans in the future.

Ittihad FC replaced their old coach because of Karim Benzema. If I'm not mistaken, it was reported that Nuno Espírito Santo didn't like the club's move to only buy old players because he hoped to build a strong team with young players, especially since Benzema's performance did not match expectations and was actually not right if Benzema is compared to Ronaldo because after all Ronaldo is much better than the French player.
Karim Benzema has reportedly asked his agent to find another club in the Saudi pro league because he doesn't really have a place in the hearts of Ittihad FC fans, and in my opinion, if Benzema is true leaving the club is not a problem because when they returned to their best performance it was proven that their old striker was the one who is more productive than Benzema so without him Ittihad FC might even be better.

Few Saudi League clubs done mistakes during the signing of big players like Neymar and Karim Benzema which hurt their cause badly but still things are not bad with Neymar is already settled, and now we are looking for the Karim Benzema which is also going to lose his contract because this creates too many issues which have big impact on Al Ittihad performance, and currently they are at the fourth spot with no chance for having spot into top three even we have good work from the Al Ittihad management which change former coach which hurt their club's performance but still things were not as they were expecting so it's also going to hurt badly Karim Benzema which is now near the end of his career.

Hopefully now they will learn from their mistakes and will do better things which will help them for having players which will give them better performance and services which will not create any concerns about this league which is having bright future in the long run in this region.
