Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

In fact, I'm only interested in the Saudi League because several celebrities like Ronaldo, Benzema have moved there, and I mostly just follow the news regarding these players. Sometimes I can watch a selection of goals that Ronaldo scores, but to be honest, I have never watched an entire match involving Saudi League teams.

Despite the fact that several star players play there, this championship does not make this championship so interesting that I follow the teams, and their positions in the standings. Benzema, by the way, announced that he would like to return to the French national team, apparently he really misses Europe, and this can be seen from his behavior.

Without Ronaldo and Messi in the European football, it becomes dormant but that doesn't poses any threat because there's still sufficient presence of young players in the team. The European football is active and we've watch closely how these big names are becoming popular in other leagues, they don't not relent when it comes to performance, always mapping out priority to match their standards this season. Without the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, I wonder how narrow and hidden the SPL could have been. I know it's not easy but there's more to claimed.

In my opinion, European football is still interesting even though there are no presence of these two superstar players, it's just that we feel lonely because these two players are no longer in the European league and many of their fans have moved to other leagues where these star players are, however This does not mean that European football has been neglected because European football is still standing strong until now we have to let go of these superstar players and now is the time to start replacing them with other younger players even though their performance is still far from Ronaldo and Messi.

People from all over the world watch the Saudi League games while they didn't watch these games before and that's because of some players like Rakitic and other superstar players in this league. In fact, Rakitic is a famous and well-known player who even had perfect performances when he started playing for Rakitic. In the first game, Rakitic had for Al Shabab if I'm not mistaken he scored a goal by the first shot he had in this team.
But I don't think even if Rakitic or the other players can make Al Hilal stop because even in Nassr they players like Ronaldo couldn't do anything against Al Hilal and they lost the game.
That's why I don't think if Al Shabab can cause any problems for Al Hilal in this match.

Ronaldo and Benzema are world-class. Big stars, big talent, no doubt. But honestly, the league? Not the same level or top tier. It lacks Premier League or La Liga's ruthless competitiveness and underdog story. Like those cash-rich Saudi teams, they all play for the same owner. Winning is winning, but of a different kind. I dont want less excitement and surprise.

And the Benzema problem... makes you think. Despite the best contracts and lifestyle, something is missing. That thrill of representing your country, hometown, and finest fans. Real deal, heart is there. Never has the wage been all that matters for greats. This reminds us that we all need to belong. Players, fans, everyone. Money cant purchase that.

In my opinion, European football is still interesting even though there are no presence of these two superstar players, it's just that we feel lonely because these two players are no longer in the European league and many of their fans have moved to other leagues where these star players are, however This does not mean that European football has been neglected because European football is still standing strong until now we have to let go of these superstar players and now is the time to start replacing them with other younger players even though their performance is still far from Ronaldo and Messi.

European football will continue to produce new stars. the era of Messi and Ronaldo is over, we have to realize that. Even though they are still playing now, they still won't be at their top performance at a young age.
but I see a silver lining in the departure of these two players from Europe. it makes a wider view of football fans towards leagues other than in Europe. we must also consider what a tremendous impact Ronaldo's arrival will have on the Saudi league. It has become an attraction for other top European players to come to Saudi.

[rendravolt]

In terms of team performance, of course, Al Nassr fans should be disappointed, but seeing their star can reach the top score, of course, there is pride for Al Nassr fans today, Al Nassr's performance this season is indeed quite bad, but in contrast to Ronaldo, who is actually able to continue to perform consistently in every game, I think Al Nassr's failure this season cannot be blamed on Ronaldo,  because after all, Ronaldo has tried his best to bring Al Nassr to become champions this season.

At least as a recruit, Ronaldo was not the main reason Al-Nassr won the title because he was also very productive as a striker and was also the temporary top scorer in the Saudi League. Again, the main problem is in their defense line which is felt to be less capable of blocking every attack from their opponents. I have also said that Al-Nassr needs a good and more experienced goalkeeper and if necessary they should bring him in next summer.

If Al-Nassr is unable to recruit a good goalkeeper, that would be a lie because they have an even squad depth from midfield to attack. Maybe adding a center back would also be good as a new partnership with Laporte. So I think that's all Al-Nassr needs to add and hope that someone will join Al-Nassr.

[QueenVera]

Yes, Rakitic's presence in the SPL has certainly brought the SPL's name back into the public spotlight and yes, Rakitic deserves to be looked at by Al-Shabab because he is a midfielder who has good strength and Rakitic from Sevilla who is now pursuing a career in the SPL, is sure to be warmly welcomed by many by SPL fans. and yes I remember when playing against Damac Rakitic scored a goal and at that time he became a hero for Al-shabab and at that time the score was 0-1 for Al-shabab's victory.

However, Rakitic's presence certainly made the name SPL become popular with many people, but of course what made the SPL more famous was because of Ronaldo's presence at the SPL because I'm sure before Ronaldo went to the SPL, few people watched SPL matches, so in my opinion, Ronaldo is the person who contributed to making the SPL become more popular.

Yes, in the match between Al-Shabab and Al-Hilal, it seems that many people predicted that Al-Hilal would win the match and indeed up to now Al-Hilal have never lost in the SPL and up to now Al-Nassr far, they have not been able to beat Al-Hilal. And it seems that even although Rakitic was at Al-Shabab, he certainly wouldn't be able to beat Jorge Jesus' team and in that match I think I would bet on Al-Hilal winning.

You can’t deny the impact of European players on the SPL and that’s why I love the way the do their business by getting those European players at a good price that way they’re boosting the leagues views and in turn helping to build up their local players. That way they’re making their local players transfer fee go up in future. This os what business is all about spending now and making the profits later. I think most European football clubs don’t have this idea yet and as still they see no need in investing in their teams.

 Very soon we’ll have the SPL being able to contest against some European teams and probably defeat them too. Rakitic presence in the SPL brought the league back to the media especially after that goal. That’s the effect of getting European signings to the league though we know the major signing that brought them to the media was Ronaldo signing som years ago but still that doesn’t write off the fact that European signings are great signings. Rakitic club will be facing league leaders this weeken and this is one match to watch.

 Yes especially as Al-Hilal haven’t lost any single game this season in the league, they’ll be able also defeat Rakitic and his side again this weekend. I’m very confident of Al-Hilal defeating them with over 2-3 goals this season. The opposition team might got Rikitic as their star player to help them challenge Al-Hilal but I doubt if Rakitic alone would be enough to help challenge Al-Hilal with a more better squad than Al-Shabab.

At least as a recruit, Ronaldo was not the main reason Al-Nassr won the title because he was also very productive as a striker and was also the temporary top scorer in the Saudi League. Again, the main problem is in their defense line which is felt to be less capable of blocking every attack from their opponents.

Ronaldo is a piece of Al-Nassr attacking system that was strong without him. With Talisca, before Ronado came, Al-Nassr already had a strong attacking system. Appearance and contribution of Ronaldo helps Al-Nassr to have a stronger and more powerful attacking system.

I have also said that Al-Nassr needs a good and more experienced goalkeeper and if necessary they should bring him in next summer.

If Al-Nassr is unable to recruit a good goalkeeper, that would be a lie because they have an even squad depth from midfield to attack. Maybe adding a center back would also be good as a new partnership with Laporte. So I think that's all Al-Nassr needs to add and hope that someone will join Al-Nassr.

They have weak defense system and their weakness does not only come from a goalkeeper position. Actually their defenders are not good enough and it's their main responsibility by failing to protect their goalkeeper. Then next responsibility will belong to their midfielders who need to contribute to their defense from midfield. To improve their defense system, they must to improve from midfield to defensive areas.

In my opinion, European football is still interesting even though there are no presence of these two superstar players, it's just that we feel lonely because these two players are no longer in the European league and many of their fans have moved to other leagues where these star players are, however This does not mean that European football has been neglected because European football is still standing strong until now we have to let go of these superstar players and now is the time to start replacing them with other younger players even though their performance is still far from Ronaldo and Messi.

Messi and Ronaldo's rivalry in European football has ended after the long rivalry that has occurred between the two of them so far, just like you, I also think that competition in Europe is currently developing better without the existence of individual rivalries like what happened between Messi and Ronaldo, even though currently we are also seeing 2 other best players appearing, so far we haven't seen any rivalry between Mbappe and Haaland.

 I personally prefer the current era of football where team rivalry tends to be more of an attraction than individual ones continue to confront each other to show who is the best among them so far, Even when Ronaldo received sanctions from the Saudi League authorities when he angry because opposing fans called Messi's name, of course this indicates that stupid behavior could be carried out by a player as great as Ronaldo due to this rivalry, currently in my opinion, European football is very balanced when it comes to how a team is highlighting better with teamwork to get victory than before which continued to rely on 1 or 2 players to get victory, and even now we can see how talented young talents emerge without the shadow of Messi and Ronaldo covering them to become the best.

There seems to be some confusion somewhere because I don't know how Ivan Rakitic moving to Saudi Arabia made much headlines like when Cristiano moved. Even Benzema made much news than Rakitic, it is only the real football lovers that are deeply involved that will know Rakitic. He was a great player at Barcelona and a huge signing for Al Shabab but his popularity is no match to Luka Modric who is seen as the model of Croatian football. Saudi Arabian League have become so popular now and those that made it so should be C. Ronaldo at the top before other players.

What you say is very true, but something must also be highlighted, Haalan and Mbappé do not have the same seal of guarantee of being titans, Legends like CR7 and Messi, you cannot compare Mbappe and Haaland neither with them nor with Ronaldinho, neither with Ronaldo, nor with Vieri, Maldini, and those players who have been truly legends, because their predecessors have been people who are very monsters, they have made a difference, I see that Mbappé and Haaland are good, but they do not make a difference As these players have marked them, I don't know what they are missing, or what is happening with them, but I am sure that they will not be as legends as them.

Nowadays I hope that there will be more stars, but in the old school style, not in the style of Mbappé and Haaland who are players who for me lack that something that I don't know what it will be called, I think that is the big difference between Cracks.

Maybe you see the new generations that are coming for now, those 19 and 20 year old kids, maybe there are some who stand out as legends, but it must be clear that times have changed and the mentalities of the players too.

[makishart]

It is a factor, I agree, but what is the sustained effect? In the beginning everybody was thrilled to see players like Neymar and Ronaldo play against each other when Al-Nassr is up against Al-Hilal. But I am convinced that this effect has been significantly declining over time.

Like when we want to buy an item online that we see as very interesting and good but in reality the item does not match what we expected. and if it is related to the influence of Neymar and Ronaldo in the Saudi Arabian League this season, initially these two players had a good and profitable influence in this event, but at the end of the match for some reason in my opinion, these two players were not optimal in supporting the progress of the Saudi League event this season. Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was said to be less than good in supporting the Al Nassr team, as was Neymar. yes, but who knows in the future the Saudi League will still exist or not after knowing who the winner is.

There were numerous factor sthat were making all of them are not playing so optimal on theri games. The most important thing is about their age factor. Theoritically, when you are getting older and your stamina will be less but ronaldo solve it through keep his life becomes very healthy.
The problem was on neymar caused by since he has not been included into the main squad of al hilal and he was not able in keeping his life like ronaldo did. That's also the reason neymar is getting even far than when he came to the al hilal.
It has been several months and neymar's physic has changed drastically. Unbelievable thing for me to see that. Ronaldo was carrying his club while neymar was only adding many problems for his club.

For me it is unfair to compare the European league with the Saudi pro league because there is no doubt that the European league has been popular for a long time so without any star players it can certainly develop new talents from young players and on the other hand the European league is one of the big leagues that has a variety of experiences. to develop the talents of more talented young players while the Saudi pro league is still in the process of increasing audience traffic and having many fans to be known as a big league.
So losing star players like Benzema or Ronaldo will definitely be a bit of a loss because fans of star players will always follow where they go..

Actually, it is very easy for the Saudi pro league, if you win, you want to grow the league and become the biggest league like the European league, at least you can produce talented players and contribute to other European clubs.
Like now we already have Ronaldo, Benzema and other great players to give experience to young players from Saudi Arabia to become talented players or in other words develop the talents of young players and get used to competing with these star players to get good experience after They can be loaned to European clubs to gain more experience and when Ronaldo and Benzema retire they will no longer be dependent on these star players because the Saudi Pro League can produce talented young players from academics like European clubs do.

Not related yet when compare the European league with Saudi Pro League, since Cristiano Ronaldo joined with Al Nassr I think that moment for Saudi Pro League become more popular but still less compete than other league in Asian competition.
Saudi Pro League try with instant way without any youth players promotion but get huge traffic by signing top European players, its not wrong when advertising Saudi Pro League by many top players joining there and stable financial when paying fantastic salary make another reason why Saudi Pro League become more popular right now and top European players leaves his team for joining with Saudi Arabia's clubs.

It must be admitted that the Leagues in Europe are much more advanced and developed than the Saudi Pro League. It is true that currently the Saudi Pro League is at a development stage, so it is really irrelevant to compare them. There are many aspects that we can mention as evidence that Europe is currently the mecca for football, one of which, as you mentioned, is the presence of talented young players. Especially in the top five European leagues, all football players in the world will use these five leagues as a platform to achieve success in their careers.

However, we know that the Saudi Pro League has strong enough financial strength to build the League to be more competitive, but this all must be done gradually. It is not impossible that the Saudi Pro League could become a competitive league in the future, or at least they could approach the level of the current top five European leagues. The investment they have made to recruit top European players is aimed at that, but as we know this will not make the European League dim even though several star players such as Ronaldo and Benzema have moved to the Saudi Pro League.

[dezoel]

Maybe SPL's popularity could decline again. If not, there will be a lot of comeback performances at the SPL from top European players there. I think Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have been most successful in getting the top European players they have to produce maximum results and play optimally and get a lot of attention. Meanwhile, other top European players at other clubs receive less attention. The SPL hype may die down. But still, I personally will still watch the SPL even though there won't be many top European player recruits in the next season.

SPL just has to continue to get players who have a passion for playing like C.Ronaldo. Because I saw C.Ronaldo, he came to the SPL not only because of the money but he was also serious about his ambitions by remaining extraordinary on the field. He realized that at European clubs he had difficulty competing with young players. That's why he went to the SPL and continued to play optimally and became even more popular.

They may have expected a big return way too quickly as well, that seems like an issue. I mean looking at their stadiums and so forth, I can say that even the broadcast is not as good looking as some of the bigger leagues for example. Of course it can't be expected them to build 10+ amazing stadiums with the highest technological stuff, but if they don't want to invest into infrastructure and just use the money for players, they would lose.

Like for example instead of spending 100-200 million on Neymar and get nothing in return, they could have simply put that into bettering one of the stadiums and would have a much better one, just an example. Players are important, but the infrastructure you are bringing them to means something as well.

[kawetsriyanto]

The chances of Al Shabab securing three points from Al Hilal are very low, they do not have the strength to do it this season, Al Shabab needs great luck to beat Al Hilal. Al Hilal steps have never been stumbled with defeat, and they have only drawn twice, it looks like in the next match they will get full points. Al Hilal has the opportunity to create an unbeaten record throughout the season, they are very close to the championship trophy. No team has been able to beat Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, even Al Ittihad and Al Nassr, which are much stronger than Al Shabab, were unable to beat them.

You are right. Al Hilal never got a lose, they become stronger and play more consistently. In theory, Al Shabab has no chance to steal points from Al Hilal. Al Hilal has a better squad quality, their players have great mentality. Even if Al Shabab will play at home, it won't be a serious problem for Al Hilal. With the record of unbeatable, everyone must agree that Al Hilal should get full points against a mediocre team like Al Shabab. Sure, no team is capable to beat Al Hilal so far, even Al Nassr failed to beat Al Hilal.

Here Al Hilal statistic performance season 2023/24 in domestic league, won 22 of 24 games and keep unbeaten record become most fantastic achieved with their performance behind become the most productivities teams by scoring 72 goals and conceded 13 goals. Based on how many matches played by Al Hilal this season they can scored 3 goals every games and its the great achieved than Al Nassr on 2nd standings  scored 66 goals and conceded 33 goals of 24 matches.

It is amazing that Al Hilal could win 22 matches and got 2 draws only. I think it can be done by other teams in the world, specifically in the top leagues such as in EPL, La Liga, or Serie A. Al Hilal can do this because Al Hilal is in the league that is not very competitive. The strength and quality between the squads of the teams in the SPL is still not evenly equal. So, we can understand if Al Hilal looks very strong, they have almost perfect players in each line. With this condition, I think Al Hilal can keep this record until the end of the competition.

Next match, Al Hilal have away match against Al Shabab as the middle teams standings position and not problem keep continue to secure three points, I believe Al Hilal will make invisible record as the team without loss one season and success become the saudi pro league winner for this season.

Yep. Al Shabab is only a middle-class team, they looks to get difficulty to play against Al Hilal. With the stats of the last 5 matches of Al Shabab, it is very unlikely to steal points from Al Hilal. So, I am optimistic that Al Hilal will get full points again, they will win the match. Sure, we can say that Al Hilal already wins the SPL for this season.

Saudi Pro League and the European league are both different league and we have the interesting and entertaining one and the other becomes boring because there's absolutely no presence of big names but recently, SPL have been making huge improvements and this is good news for the league. They're entirely progressing in all round form, SPL took a bold step in clearing their path when they signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United and this have ever been the top signings necessary for the SPL to enter limelight especially in the eyes of the vast major.

[nurilham]

Agree, European leagues and SPL aren't comparable. It is not about the popularity, but it is about the level of the leagues. Of course, the level of SPL is under the level of top European leagues (EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and etc). Although there are some star players in SPL, but it is only a few percentages from the number of star players in Europe. Sure, it needs a long process to grow talents in SPL, it is not an easy work.

No doubt star players have big impacts. There is a great raise of the popularity of SPL since Ronaldo, Benzema, Neymar, and other star players come to SPL. Star players have many fanatic fans, they will follow where their favorite players go.

[rahmad2nd]

Currently, Ronaldo is at the top as the top scorer this season and we see that there are still many matches left where Ronaldo can add to his goal tally. Even though he was a little disappointed because he failed to bring Al Nassr to become champions, he was able to show his class that he is a striker who is hungry for goals even though he is old.

Al Nassr's performance this season was beyond our expectations because at first we all here thought that Al Nassr would be able to dominate the league this season, but unfortunately what we predicted so far was beyond our expectations, which was precisely Al Hillal surprised us all, with only a few star players but instead Al Hillal was able to reach the top position of the SPL standings by leaving Al Nassr far enough and even surprising again if they had not obtained Defeat so far in the league.

In terms of team performance, of course, Al Nassr fans should be disappointed, but seeing their star can reach the top score, of course, there is pride for Al Nassr fans today, Al Nassr's performance this season is indeed quite bad, but in contrast to Ronaldo, who is actually able to continue to perform consistently in every game, I think Al Nassr's failure this season cannot be blamed on Ronaldo,  because after all, Ronaldo has tried his best to bring Al Nassr to become champions this season.

This should be the case, but in fact Al Nassr is unable to fulfill its mission and targets even though it has brought in several other star players. the presence of Mane, Brozovic, Aymeric, Alex Telles, Fotana, did not make Al Nassr dominate the Saudi Pro League competition. in fact, in the end Seko Fotana was loaned to Al Ettifaq. in this competition, Al Nassr is the squad that has the most competitive team depth. however, Luis Casto's team is unable to compete with Al Hilal, and currently Al Nassr is 12 points behind. meanwhile, this competition only has 10 matches remaining until the end of the competition. Well, it looks like it will be quite difficult for Al Nassr to reduce the point gap from Al Hilal who is currently on fire.

On the other hand, Al Hilal was one of the elite teams in this competition before they were acquired by PIF, so it is only natural that Al Hilal is able to be consistent throughout this competition. Moreover, in the last few seasons Al Hilal has always dominated the Saudi Pro League. What's unique is that even though there aren't many big names as stars in their squad, Al Hilal was able to play impressive matches throughout this competition without losing. now the trophy for this competition is getting closer to Al Hilal, so Jorge Jesus' team just needs to continue to appear consistent.
As for the top score, the competition still seems quite exciting. Ronaldo scored 23 goals, while Mitrovic scored 20 goals. only 3 goals difference, with 10 matches remaining.
by the way, maybe Al Nassr needs a more competent coach. also, in the summer Al Nassr will have to improve its defense line.

[TastyChillySauce00]

In my opinion, European football is still interesting even though there are no presence of these two superstar players, it's just that we feel lonely because these two players are no longer in the European league and many of their fans have moved to other leagues where these star players are, however This does not mean that European football has been neglected because European football is still standing strong until now we have to let go of these superstar players and now is the time to start replacing them with other younger players even though their performance is still far from Ronaldo and Messi.

European football will continue to produce new stars. the era of Messi and Ronaldo is over, we have to realize that. Even though they are still playing now, they still won't be at their top performance at a young age.
but I see a silver lining in the departure of these two players from Europe. it makes a wider view of football fans towards leagues other than in Europe. we must also consider what a tremendous impact Ronaldo's arrival will have on the Saudi league. It has become an attraction for other top European players to come to Saudi.

They were continue to play outside of european clubs caused by there have no been clubs who keen in recruiting them as new players. Even ronaldo had sent some offers to the various clubs but these clubs kept show no interest in recruiting him as a new player. It's clear that if ronaldo and messi were over in eurppean competition.
The only best choice for all of them to leave from european league caused by they must also able to enjoy their life. Messi gone to the MLS while ronaldo to the SPL. It proves they have picked their own ways.

It is a factor, I agree, but what is the sustained effect? In the beginning everybody was thrilled to see players like Neymar and Ronaldo play against each other when Al-Nassr is up against Al-Hilal. But I am convinced that this effect has been significantly declining over time.

Like when we want to buy an item online that we see as very interesting and good but in reality the item does not match what we expected. and if it is related to the influence of Neymar and Ronaldo in the Saudi Arabian League this season, initially these two players had a good and profitable influence in this event, but at the end of the match for some reason in my opinion, these two players were not optimal in supporting the progress of the Saudi League event this season. Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was said to be less than good in supporting the Al Nassr team, as was Neymar. yes, but who knows in the future the Saudi League will still exist or not after knowing who the winner is.

But neither Neymar nor Ronaldo are to blame here. They took the big pay checks and I guess most people would have done exactly the same. Hardly anyone is in the position to turn down offers that pay you hundreds of millions a year. Even Ronaldo as a probably almost billionaire back at the time knows that a salary of 200 million per year is out of this world.

But the Saudi Professional League officials, the club owners and bosses are to blame because one they got the ball rolling with these absurdly high salaries, I think it came across as normal that they pay so much and it was all about the money. There was no project in the making where other, younger players would have loved to contribute to. Everyone who went there, went there for the money. Benzema told some weird stories about religion and belief, but in the end he is a mercenary like everyone else.
