**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia** – Al-Hilal’s surprising loss to Al-Khaleej has dropped them to second place in the Saudi Pro League, creating a tense battle for the top spot with Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr hot on their heels. While Al-Hilal leads the league in goals scored, recent performances have lacked the creative spark they need to maintain their lead.
Adding to Al-Hilal’s woes is the unexpected departure of star player Neymar Jr. The Brazilian superstar, whose contract has been mutually terminated due to persistent knee injuries, will not feature in their upcoming match against Al-Shabab. While his time at Al-Hilal was hampered by injury setbacks, speculation is rife about his next destination, with Inter Miami a potential suitor. Neymar’s absence leaves a significant gap in Al-Hilal’s attacking line-up as they strive to regain their position at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo continues to contribute, recently scoring his 914th career goal.
