Al Hilal made history by winning 28 games in a row, breaking the world record. They achieved this feat by defeating rivals Al Ittihad in the Asian Champions League.
The Saudi Pro League team won 2-0 against Karim Benzema's Al Ittihad, surpassing the previous record of 27 consecutive wins held by Welsh Premier League team The New Saints in the 2016-17 season.
This victory secured Al Hilal a spot in the Asian Champions League semifinals with an overall aggregate score of 4-0.
"This is truly an incredible achievement and I want to thank everyone at the club for their part in this momentous winning record," Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus said.
"As I have said throughout this period, however, records do not matter as much as trophies. It is up to everyone at Al Hilal to ensure that we close out the season as Roshn Saudi League champions and meet our targets in the cup competitions. Only then can we truly celebrate."
Jesus added that he doesn't know if he will continue in charge next season.
"I don't know my future," he said. "I have a contract with Al Hilal until the end of June. In football everything changes very quickly. What I want most now is to continue winning with Al Hilal. Now we have the [Asian Champions League] semifinals, we are also well placed in the championship. Then we'll see."
Even though Al Hilal lost their star player Neymar to an ACL injury in October, they are still leading the Saudi Pro League by 12 points ahead of Al Nassr, which is led by Cristiano Ronaldo.
