Al Hilal have broken the world record for most consecutive wins by a team in the top division.
The Pro League side's victory over Al Ittihad in the Asian Champions League was their 28th consecutive victory.
Al Hilal are the most decorated team in the Saudi Pro League, and their new record etched into history surpasses the 27 straight wins by Welsh side The New Saints in 2016.
The Blue Waves, whose players include former Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, have won every encounter since a 1-1 draw with Damac on September 21, 2024.
Ex-Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves also plays for Al Hilal, alongside Brazilian great Neymar.
Neymar joined the Saudi Arabian side from Paris Saint Germain last summer in a deal believed to be about €90 million with the inclusion of add-ons.
However, the former Barcelona man has been out of action with a serious knee injury since October 2023.
Al Hilal are managed by Jorge Jesus, former gaffer of Benfica and Flamengo gaffer, and they are 12 points clear at the summit of the Saudi Pro League table.
The Royal club have amassed 65 points this campaign, while Al Nassr sit second with 53 points.
Mitrovic has been instrumental to 26 of his side's 81 goals during the winning run. The Saudi Arabian side's streak includes 16 league matches, three domestic cup matches, and nine in the Asian Champions League.
The Pro League side have played a swashbuckling brand of football, scoring goals with reckless abandon and producing mesmeric displays, which is appealing to the fans.
Meanwhile, Al Hilal's 2-0 victory over Al Ittihad in the Asian Champions League resulted in the side qualifying for the semi-final 4-0 on aggregate.
Al Hilal are aiming for the Saudi Pro League this campaign, alongside the Asian Champions League.
They are favorites to win both competitions, and the Blue Waves are putting every effort into ensuring they win both crowns.
Al Hilal have played 23 matches in the Saudi Pro League this term, winning 21 matches and drawing 2.
It will be intriguing to see if they can go all the way, by going the entirety of the season unbeaten.
Al Hilal last suffered a defeat on Saturday, August 12, 2023, losing 2-1 to Al Nassr in the final of the Arab Club Champions Cup.
The Saudi Arabian giants last won the Pro League in 2022, winning the 2021/22 season, having exuded class during the campaign.
They will certainly relish their new record and look to prolong it for more matches, which would obviously make it difficult for any side looking to reprise such a feat.
Even top clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus, Manchester United have failed to hit such heights in their about 100 years of existence.
