AFC Champions League Quarter-Finals，Saudi Arabia’s civil war, see who can have the last laugh

Jorge Jesus' Al-Hilal dominates at home and in the AFC Champions League, winning both knockout matches 3-1. With an incredible 27 consecutive victories, they lead the Saudi league by nine points, aiming for a double title like in 2020-21. Al-Hilal has a solid quarter-final record, advancing in the last six appearances and unbeaten in the last eight since 2011-12 (5-0 vs. Ulsan Hyundai). Alongside Al-Nassr, they are the only teams unbeaten in the Champions League this season, boasting 16 home wins in a row.

Al Ittihad faced early adversity with an own goal in their recent AFC Champions League fixture but turned luck around with another own goal for a comeback victory. It's their first quarter-final appearance since 2018-19, with no progression past the last eight since 2011-12. The lone tournament defeat this season was an away match in the group stage (2-0 vs. Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya). They haven't lost the opening leg of a two-leg knockout tie since 2014. Despite a goalless start last month, Al Ittihad has conceded in the last three matches. Their chances at the Saudi Pro League title are slim, currently fifth with 37 points, 25 behind leaders Al-Hilal and eight games left.
