al-hilal received several blows during its spectacular season, which saw a quarter on the throne of the most successful clubs to succeed in history.
However, this superiority hit several events both at injury level and at the halt of the winning streak, along with criticism of the team and Portuguese coach Georgie Jesus.
End of Chain
The historic al-hilal series of winning was interrupted, during 34 consecutive matches in various domestic and continental competitions.
Al Hilal lost to Al Ain last week 2-4, in the first leg of the ACL semi-finals, before earning a 2-1 win, to bid farewell to the competition by stumbling on aggregate 4-5.
This historic series lasted for 205 days, from 25 September 2023 to 17 April.

Sharp criticism
The Jesus battalion was sharply criticized after the Asian exit, precisely because of the way he played back in the UAE.
al-hilal stars also suffered a severe attack due to missed opportunities and poor defensive coverage, causing wholesale spaces to emerge.
This is the first time the Crescent has deposited the Asian Champions League from knockout in front of the eye after excelling in the 2014 and 2017 editions.
The current period is marked by a clear decline in the level of most of the Crescent’s players, especially for local stars because they are not constantly involved.
Increased suffering
Salem Al-Dosari Najem Al-Hilal joined Al-Hilal Hospital, following an injury sustained in front of the eye during the return encounter.
The “leader” declared Al Dussari injured at the rear muscle level, and will be sidelined for 5 weeks, almost certainly ending his season.
The team also suffers from the injury of its Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has missed the team’s games throughout the last period, as well as the absence of Brazilian Neymar da Silva from the ground.
Al-Hilal is preparing to face Al-Fatah on Friday, in the 29th round of the Saudi Professional League.
The Leader leads the Roshin Pro League ranking table with 77 points, and has a postponed match against Al Ahly.
