Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Pandorak]

He is still giving his 100% and individually he is one of the top-performing players for the last three years in the Saudi Professional League. Age maybe having some impact, but then why he is performing much better than younger players such as Jhon Durán and Sadio Mané? Mané has so far scored 20 goals from his 56 appearances for Al Nassr, while Cristiano Ronaldo has 71 goals to his name from just 68 matches. Aleksandar Mitrović, widely regarded as the best forward in SPL right now has 42 goals from 41 matches for Al Hilal (goals per match is still lower than that of Ronaldo).

Exactly, at first i thought after his move to Al Nassr maybe everything was over, despite having a fantastic salary, but being in the Saudi Arabian League is a sad end to a career, but it turned out to be a wrong mindset, after Ronaldo moved, the Saudi League became very popular and increasingly recognized around the world, all eyes were on them, The media continues to cover Ronaldo in detail in every match and what is no less surprising is that many players from big European clubs have received contracts from various clubs in the Saudi League, this makes the competition even more fierce in every match, even Ronaldo is increasingly showing his abilities here, being able to compete with younger players is not easy, but Ronaldo managed to do that, it's amazing.

What do we call clubs that doesn't give up on securing the signing of big players? These clubs have become relentless and scouting for more big names to add to the squad. We know the history of SPL bringing elite players from the European league, they pass through means of finances. Placing tempting offers on the table that are irresistible and we know what it is for these players. For instance, Ronaldo moving to Saudi Arabia became one of the best thing to happen in the SPL. Cristiano Ronaldo presence brought the league to spotlight and they're having one of the very presentable league cutrently.

[Adiljutt156]

In the end, these two famous teams from the SPL will meet again this season. And now Al-hilal will host the match. Previously Al-Nassr was the host but the score at that time was a draw, namely 1-1. And now I'm curious whether there will be a return draw or not. But I will also hope that both teams score again. But I wouldn't expect a draw. Because I will favor Al-Nassr in this match. Although actually Al-hilal could be more favored.

Yes but this is not considered an important and meaningful game anymore as it once used to be when Ronaldo joined the SPL. The title race is over already and it doesn't really matter how this game ends for Al Nassr. Maybe Al Hilal can still have some hope, but then this game is a must win game for them. Ittihad is barely making any mistakes and this is probably not going to change for the last part of this season. Hence Al Hilal will need a perfect record for those games. And for Ronaldo this season has been all about scoring goals on his way to reach the 1,000 goals mark. I think that was all he was playing for this season.

With only 9 matches remaining in this season, it is already very difficult for Al-Nassr to be able to shift first position again. Because currently Al-Nassr and Al-ittihad also have a 10 point difference in the SPL standings. And yes, it can be said that Al-Nassr's hopes of competing for the title are almost impossible. but if suddenly Al-ittihad loses full points in 3 or 4 matches then that will give Al-nassr another chance. But with Al-ittihad's current strength which is very strong and consistent, it is difficult to imagine Al-ittihad losing full points in 3 to 4 matches out of the remaining 9 matches. Currently Al-Nassr may just have to keep winning to restore their reputation, not to hunt for the title. And about Cristiano Ronaldo, maybe one of his goals is about 1000 goals and also remaining the top scorer here.

Saudi Pro League is my favorite league and I like to watch matches of that league. KINGDOM ARENA was a place where we saw match of Al Hilal football team and Al-Nassr football team. Al Hilal team position is strong and their players are doing well and that is my favorite team because players always try to win match and they did not underestimate any team.  Points difference between these two teams is not big but I like to support Al Hilal  team and they deserve this because they have 57 points on the table and  Al-Ittihad team is present at the top and that team has 61 points and points difference between 1st and 2nd is not big . So Al Hilal team required 2 wins to get first rank on the table and they have capacity to get top position.

[fadhilz123]

Agreed here. Comparing Messi with Ronaldo is not fair, as both of them are legends on their own, with their own set of specialties. But one thing that I would like to point out is that Ronaldo has always been like a one-man army, irrespective of whom he is representing. It happened when he played for the Portuguese national team, and the same happened when he plays for Al Nassr now. But overall, I have to agree with what you said. It will be wrong to compare two players with entirely different style of play.

It is not wrong to make such a comparison between two players who play in different positions when they play on the field, but for me it is just not accurate because apart from having different styles, they have never been on the same team. In addition, Ronaldo has often been more successful in the League he plays in, including being very successful in the Champions League and being able to win an individual trophy as the top scorer. While Messi began to shine less when he left the Spanish La Liga, so the comparison is not worth discussing if it is only about the two of them.

[Bitcoinsummoner]

Let me ask a very simple question. Who is the best footballer, so far in 21st century? My answer would be Cristiano Ronaldo. Some may go for Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé may be the choice for a few others. Then there will be significant support for players such as Luka Modrić, Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernández. Out of all these players, how many are participating in the Saudi Professional League? Only Ronaldo. And that makes him the best player right now in this league.

Ah. Two players should not be compared as to who is the best because both are athletes who have made the world of football great.
No one can match the abilities of these two players, although some say that there will be new players who will match their rivalry after both retire, it will still not be the same.

If the question is who is the best between the two in terms of statistics, I would also answer Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has played more clubs than Messi and Ronaldo has always performed great with his contributions.

Ronaldo and Messi are both the brightest stars in the world of football. Both are called the princes of football. In that respect, Ronaldo is slightly ahead. Their difference is that the eyes are the most precious organ in the body. If they are compared to eyes, then one eye cannot be imagined without the other. Just as a person is incomplete without one eye, the world of football is incomplete without these two. Their unique style and contribution make football more exciting. Ronaldo's consistency in multiple leagues is impressive, just as Messi's playmaking and dribbling are unmatched. Regardless of the statistics, their legacy will be difficult to repeat!

But one thing that I would like to point out is that Ronaldo has always been like a one-man army, irrespective of whom he is representing. It happened when he played for the Portuguese national team, and the same happened when he plays for Al Nassr now. But overall, I have to agree with what you said. It will be wrong to compare two players with entirely different style of play.

People who still compare these two in my opinion don't know what they have done on football and for football, they are both legends of the game and they both deserve our respect instead of trying to compare and look for the one that is better. This comparison have been on for a long time since they were young and it was difficult to know who is better because they both have separate abilities and are very good at it that is why it is difficult to know who is better. Ronaldo is known for his hard work and goals and he will do anything in his power just to get the while Messi is more of a natural talent and team player that works well with others to bring out his best.

In the match against Al Hilal, I am quite pessimistic that Al Nassr can win. because this match will be played at Al Hilal's home ground, besides that Al Hilal also has the motivation to catch up with Al Ittihad in first place, so it is certain that Al Hilal will not waste this opportunity.

Unfortunately, in recent years, Al Nassr has not been able to beat Al Hilal. At most, the games end in a draw and, looking at the current situation of both teams, I predict that the scenario for years will continue in which Al Nassr will lose or draw, but will not be able to win the game. I hope that in the coming seasons the club's management will make better choices, for example: " choose the coach well "

It's quite a long while that Al Nassr has beaten Al Hilal, it's a shame and I must say it's time to for them to lift any curse stopping them from winning Al Hilal. Al Hilal has not been in their best form lately and it seems they are having a problem somewhere so it shouldn't be too hard for Al Nassr now. They game is unpredictable as always but I expect Al Nassr to put a good fight and get a point at least.

Indeed, no one can deny that Ronaldo can be said to be the best player of this century. But of course not everyone admits it, because of course everyone has different assessments regarding this. So of course there are those who agree and disagree about saying Ronaldo is the best player of this century. Because everyone has their own criteria regarding this, some judge it from the achievements of trophies or awards obtained by the player and some judge it from the individual skills of the player. For example, people who say that Messi is the best player today. This is certainly based on all the things he has achieved with the team or with his national team. Moreover, Messi has succeeded in getting the World Cup trophy, so of course this makes his fans say that Messi is better than Ronaldo.

So basically if we compare Ronaldo with Messi, I think it can be said that these two players have equality. Because in essence Ronaldo has advantages that Messi does not have and Messi also has advantages that Ronaldo does not have. So these two players are said to be the best soccer players of this century, I personally agree too. Because if you say Ronaldo is better than Messi, or vice versa, I think there will be a long debate that never ends. So with that, I think it's better for us to think wisely about this.

Talk about Al Nassr's recent performances against Al Hilal are valid. Historically, Al Hilal has maintained a dominant record in their encounters, with 33 wins compared to Al Nassr's 14, alongside 16 draws. However, it's noteworthy that Al Nassr secured a significant victory over Al Hilal in the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup final, winning 2–1 after extra time to claim their first title in this competition. ​

The club's management has been proactive in enhancing the team's competitiveness, exemplified by the acquisition of high-profile players like Cristiano Ronaldo.

For me Al Nassr is one of the unluckiest clubs in Saudi Pro League because they have enough sources with top quality players but still fail to have any big success in last 2 seasons.

Change of coaches are also no working but good thing they are still not giving up and doing their best which is impressive in this season things were expected to be had some reasonable results, but they fail again but Stefano Pioli is one of good coaches things can take changes under his leadership.

Next season is going to be more interesting as they are doing good job and Al Hilal and Al Ittihad are also giving space which will be encouraging for them having Ronaldo is also good as now he is playing his last few months in this game before retirement.

You make the question as SPL is the best league in the world, when it's not. That makes the question you asked flawed. I like Cristiano without hating Messi & I personally think Cristiano is the best player in the world regardless of whether he has the WC trophy or not. It's because of his hard work in this industry, it's not easy to be like him where he can maintain his performance, today he's an icon for the football industry.

Anyone disagree with my statement?

Read my post carefully. I never said that the Saudi Professional League is the best league in the world. I was saying that at the moment, Ronaldo is the only world class player who is participating in SPL. Hopefully in the future they will get someone like Mbappé or Messi to participate in this league. Afterall, at the most Ronaldo has 2-3 years of career left. They need to make sure that the new audience remains with SPL. One of the ways to do that is to bring some of the well known stars from Europe.

[doomloop]

How many games are left so far for the league to come to an end? I think about 9 or less, Al Ittihad currently has 61 points, Al Hilal has 57 points Al Nassr has 51 points. And there's a total of 9 games remaining before the end of the season making it a total of 27 points to be grabbed, I think it's too early to come into conclusion as the points difference aren't that much from each other, 4 points, 6 points, and 10 points difference between league leaders and AI Nassr,  Therefore anything is still possible if minus 10 points  from 27 points.

In this season now 9 rounds left with tomorrow Al Hilal hosting Al Nassr and then Al Ahli hosting Al Ittihad going to be interesting games because now difference of points are narrowing which is creating challenges for Al Hilal to catch leaders Al Ittihad.

Al Qadisiya losing rhythm but still things are favourable for them to have third spot at the end top five teams are on same level of performance and quality giving fans good entertaining soccer to watch while Al Hilal is having poor run which allow Al Ittihad to dominate in this season. Al Nassr fail to give any positive impact which is the big problem for them, but they have good chance to keep pressure on top two clubs currently Al Ittihad leaders, but their lead is achievable for Al Hilal.

I don't agree with you if you say that only Ronaldo is the only world class player who is playing in the Saudi Arabia league that is not true because there are allot of world class players who are playing in the Saudi league players like Karim Benzima, Kante, sadio mane etc the list is on ending so there are alot of world class players who is plighing their trade in the Saudi Arabia league infact the Saudi league is now one of the leagues where all world class players are going because of the money so you saying that apart from Ronaldo that there is no other world class striker is something that is not true and I don't agree with you on that

Answering questions like this in some cases for me I think will need some bases upon which we are going  to provide answers to them, if you are going to make your judgement based on a certain type of achievements,  maybe goals wise, trophy wise or using other reasons I believe you are going to have different answers at almost  every point and that is because at a point or the other, one of these players outperformed the other and somehow there's some kind of era shift between the likes of kylian mbappe and Messi of which I will say Messi and Ronaldo fall into same era different from that of Mbappe, same applies with some other players who you have mentioned, so basically I do make judgement based on some yardstick,  that makes me hold non of them which you have mentioned as overall best, but in the Saudi league currently it will not be a miss to see Ronaldo as the best or one of the best.

[AirtelBuzz]

Your survey really makes me want to say, "Old is gold". Ronaldo has maintained his individuality in the Saudi Professional League by scoring the most goals so far. Even then, if someone says to Ronaldo, "He is not giving his 100% performance, then it is a big shame for him". However, I would say that Cristiano Ronaldo is evergreen, eternal, and a legend. It is doubtful whether a player like him will be born again in the history of the world.

The simple answer from my side to such questions is that everyone's personal favorite player is the best footballer in the world. It is probably known to everyone that everyone has a personal preference do everyone may have different opinions and bases, just like many people support Argentina so it is natural that they will choose Messi, just like many people support Portugal so they will choose Ronaldo. But personally, I think those who have played well in the past and are still playing well in the present and are well-known to everyone in the world today are all legendary players. We can never underestimate the players you mentioned here, we have to admit that they were or are very talented players at one time.

It doesn't feel like this season is almost nearing the end. But what is very unfortunate is that the hope of seeing Al-Nassr win the title does not seem to be possible this season. Al-nassr is still unable to compete with Al-hilal and Al-ittihad. But fortunately there is still next season where Al-nassr is still with Cristiano Ronaldo. And hopefully next season Al-Nassr can win the title.

But with the remaining matches this season, it is actually possible that there will be changes in the rankings. But that is very difficult with Al-ittihad's dominance which is still quite strong. Because Al-ittihad managed to create a pretty good distance between points. But if AL-nassr manages to win the match against Al-hilal then it will narrow the difference in points with Al-hilal and also with Al-ittihad if Al-ittihad loses to Al-Ahli. But I don't think Al-ittihad will lose. the worst outcome might be just sharing the points. And their Al-Nassr could even lose 3rd place if they lose this week's match. Because Al-Qadisiyah looks like it will be able to beat Al-ettifaq. because Al-ettifaq is also not consistent enough this season.

I agree with you, even for now, we have not seen players with extraordinary talents like them born again with achievements like them. We may hear some news associated with young talents who are reported as the successors of both of them, but to achieve the success that both of them have achieved, I believe it will not be easy for the current generation. But I believe that in every era there will be players who are at the peak of their career glory with the club they play for.

Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo both of them are legends and its hard to chose between them. If both Argentina and Portugal are playing against each other, i will be more attracted towards Lionel Messi but that doesn't mean i would not love Cristiano Ronaldo. It is just that I am more interested in the Argentina team as compared to the Portugal.
Even if these players become old, people will still love to see them in action and want them to continue playing for their countries and leagues for as long as possible.

Indeed, it doesn't feel like we're near the end, but reality hits hard when you look at the table. Al-Nassr are sitting 9 points behind with 9 games left and a direct clash coming up, but we're dealing with Laurent Blanc's Al-Ittihad here: a team that shipped only 24 goals in 25 games, compared to Al-Nassr's 27. That defense resembled a brick wall.

Sure, mathematically, it's still alive, but the vibe says otherwise. When Laporte, Otávio, and most recently Haqwi are sidelined, even Ronaldo's 19 goals cannot solve the squad depth issues. And Al-Qadisiyah slipping right behind with nothing to lose and everything to gain. We might still be looking at a hot top 3 reshuffle if Al-Hilal keeps struggling (just 5 wins in their past 10) and Al-Ahli performs a home shock in the Jeddah Derby. It's unlikely, but hey, football is all about unlikely

Christiano Ronaldo is the GOAT in my opinion. I know others may refer to Lionel Messi as the greatest footballer in the last decade. The debate has always been about Ronaldo and Messi, who is better. Kylian Mbappe is not even in the conversation, the likes of Mbappe, Vini, Haaland just came into the spotlight a few years ago.

Ronaldo is definitely the most popular player in the Saudi League right now, I wouldn’t say he’s the best though because of his age. There are younger talents in the league that may be playing really amazing football but do not have that exposure.

[kawetsriyanto]

If you look at the difference in points between Al Nassr and Al Ittihad, Al Nassr's hopes of competing for the title have disappeared, because it takes a miracle to bring Al Nassr to win the title this season, let alone hoping that Al Ittihad will lose points in several matches with 9 matches left. This is very difficult considering Al Ittihad's performance this season has been very good, Al Nassr's failure to compete this season is very reasonable because Al Nassr's weakness in the last few seasons has indeed been in the defense line.

Agree, there is no way that Al Nassr can win the title anymore. Even, they are unlikely to finish as a runner up. Since there is 9 matches left only, the reasonable position is in 3rd place. But for this position, Al Nassr competes with Al Qadisiyah and Al Ahli. It won't be easy because Al Nassr still has some big matches, meanwhile the point gap is very narrow (same point with Al Qadisiyah).

In the match against Al Hilal, I am quite pessimistic that Al Nassr can win. because this match will be played at Al Hilal's home ground, besides that Al Hilal also has the motivation to catch up with Al Ittihad in first place, so it is certain that Al Hilal will not waste this opportunity.

In the last match played at Al Hilal's home ground ended in a draw, let alone playing at Al Hilal's home ground, of course Al Nassr will have difficulty winning. Talking about Ronaldo, there is no need to doubt this player, he is indeed a monster in front of the opponent's goal but it doesn't mean anything if he can score goals but at the same time they are very easy to concede because their defense line is very fragile.

Indeed, the favorite team is Al Hilal because they will play at home. Also, Al Hilal is quite superior if we consider the history of previous matches. However, it doesn't mean Al Nassr will lose it automatically. There is always a chance to win the match although it will be a very small chance. I just hope that Al Nassr can play with their best form.

In fact in my opinion, no other player can compare to these two shining stars in the football world. I have been enjoying the game of these two players for almost a decade, And whenever any footballer is discussed in the world of football, the names of these two players must be mentioned by everyone. Even the Argentina football team is much stronger than Portugal for which you are choosing them. I see that many people do not like Portugal but Cristiano likes Ronaldo. No matter how much we compare them, they will never become smaller, meaning their attractiveness can never diminish. At this stage I agree with you that even if they get older people will watch their football match.
