The Saudi side celebrates its 28th win in a row in by beating Al-Ittihad 2-0 in the AFC Champions League and qualifies for the semi-final
Al-Hilal's most prominent star, Neymar, has been sidelined for ages due to injury, but it didn't affect the Saudi side at all. They have made a sensational streak without the Brazilian, breaking the world record of consecutive wins on Tuesday night, as they reached level 28! That's the number of victories in a row for Jorge Jesus' slot, one more than a previous record of 27 set by Welsh team The New Saints.

A 2-0 away win at Al-Ittihad resulted in Al-Hilal's 4-0 win on aggregate, as the Blues managed not to concede a single goal in a two-leg tie against the team comprised of Karim Benzema, N'golo Kante, Fabinho and others.
The veteran striker was sidelined due to injury again, but even with him previously in the squad, Al-Ittihad failed to beat Al-Hilal in the two games in the domestic championship, either.

Al-Shahrani opened the scoring in the second half, following Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's perfect run and assist, and Malcom sealed the deal in injury time for a big celebration.
The world record has been broken, and the AFC Champions League semi-final is awaiting them.
