Coach Jorge Jesus said: Everyone at Al Hilal is happy with the historic milestone of world football with 28 consecutive wins. However, as I have said many times, records are not as important as titles.
Everyone at Al-Hilal has a responsibility to ensure that we end the season as champions of Saudi Arabia and achieve the goal of the cup tournaments.
Only then can we truly celebrate.
Currently, Al-Hilal is unbeaten this season and 12 points ahead of second-placed team Saudi Pro League Al-Nassr. They have also reached the semi-finals of the King's Cup.
