Al-Hilal secured the Saudi League title with a commanding 4-1 victory over Al-Hazem at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on Saturday.
Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr delaying their celebrations on Thrusday, Al-Hilal knew that a win or draw against Al-Hazem would be sufficient to clinch the championship.
Former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic stole the show with a brace, supported by contributions from Milinkovic-Savic and an own goal, sealing the title for his team.
This title caps off an impressive season for Al-Hilal, who have remained unbeaten in 31 league matches and now boast a record 19 Saudi Pro League titles.
Despite the setback of Neymar's ACL injury in October, which ruled him out for the season, the team showed its depth with other amazing players including former Premier League talents Mitrovic, Ruben Neves, and Kalidou Koulibaly.
