Preview: Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal
The grand from the capital of Spanish, after a triumphant 2023/2024, gave in on all “fronts”. Speaking about the Champions League, the owner of the desired trophy was eliminated, losing twice to Arsenal. As for the inner arena, the club deservedly lost to Barcelona 3: in the Super Cup, the Copa del Rey and the Primera. That prompted changes: the management said goodbye to Ancelotti, bringing Xabi Alonso back to Madrid as head coach, and signed a number of new players, focusing on strengthening the defence. And at the same time, they said goodbye to Modrić.
The rival from Riyadh confidently took another championship title in 2024, already the nineteenth in a row, and added a cup. And there was a victory in the Asian Champions League a year earlier. Still, the team could not stay at the top. Al-Ittihad was beyond competition at the inner arena (the club ended up 8 points behind). And it suddenly lost to Al-Ahli from Jeddah in the semi-finals of the elite Asian Champions League.
Mbappé and the company score 2.05 goals, conceding exactly 1.0 goal in response. Their opponent from the Middle East plays more spectacularly: 2.79 goals scored and 1.21 goals conceded.
