Will Neymar guide Al-Hilal to the league title this season?

Al-Hilal currently sits on top of the SPL table with 20 points ahead of Karim Benzema‘s Al-Ittihad, who are only a point below. They have the 2nd best attack in the league, only behind Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al-Nassr. Neymar has only made three appearances for his side and is yet to score. But he has provided two assists, including one against Al-Shabab, in the 68th minute to break the deadlock. His manager also believes that the superstar will take time to get to his best, as he is recovering from his injury. 

The SPL is going to be a lot more competitive this season. But if Al-Hilal manages to keep their Brazilian talisman fit, they might pose a serious title threat. Neymar also hopes to play in the 2026 World Cup with Brazil, for which he must consistently perform and remain fit. The 31-year-old will look to cement his legacy in Saudi Arabia after being recognized as one of the best players ever to play in Europe.
