In a remarkable display of resilience, Al-Hilal has emerged victorious in the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League season without suffering a single defeat, even in the face of adversity following Neymar's injury.

Their triumph was sealed with a hard-fought 2-1 win against Al-Wehda on Monday. Mohamed Kanno initiated the scoring, countered by Yahya Naji's equalizer in the second half. The unbeaten record was then etched in history with a late winner from substitute Aleksandar Mitrovic, securing his 28th goal of the season.

Al-Hilal had already cemented their dominance earlier in the season, claiming the league title with an impressive 12-point lead over Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, setting the stage for a triumphant finale to their campaign.

The absence of Neymar, who sustained a severe ACL injury in October, loomed large over the team. Despite losing their marquee signing, Al-Hilal defied the odds, winning 31 games and drawing three, showcasing their unwavering determination and depth of talent.

This season marks the 19th Saudi Pro League title for Al-Hilal, adding another chapter to their illustrious history. Additionally, the team embarked on a record-breaking streak of 34 consecutive wins across all competitions, a testament to their dominance in domestic and continental football.

Looking ahead, Al-Hilal aims to conclude their season on a high note as they face Ronaldo and Al-Nassr in the King Cup on May 31. The clash promises to be a thrilling encounter, offering fans another opportunity to witness the prowess of two footballing giants battling for supremacy on the pitch.
