Neymar injures his thigh
Before leaving the field, Neymar lit up the match with a classy action. In a daring move, he performed a “sombrero shot” which thrilled the stands, reminding everyone of his intact talent despite years marked by physical problems. However, this new injury adds to a series of problems that have hampered his career in recent years. After a long convalescence for his knee, the striker is struggling to regain physical continuity, leaving doubts about his ability to play a series of matches and fully play his role in Al-Hilal's ambitions.

This result shows that the Saudi team can perform even without Neymar, although his presence remains valuable for his ability to galvanize the team and ignite the crowds. The club and fans are hoping to get the Brazilian back quickly, but the recurrence of his injuries raises questions about his ability to return to full, lasting fitness. For Al-Hilal, this blow calls for caution: the team will probably have to prepare to cope without him in the coming rounds. While awaiting a precise diagnosis, uncertainty remains over Neymar's future.
