When you look for a spot on the Champions platform, you have to pay the price on the field…

You might scream once or a thousand times, but screaming cannot be the price for victories; it is just shouting… its echo outside the field is painful and returns as an echo…!

A billion – in any currency – is not enough to build a champion team that fights to raise the cup; because money and names alone are not enough.

Al-Ahli, which won the Elite Cup and the Super Cup, did not have financial deals reaching the levels of Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ittihad, but it excelled by its well-studied decisions, the fighting spirit of its players, and the leadership of coach Matias.

Your discontent matters to me, I say it loudly to those who even think about achieving Al-Ahli’s accomplishments off the field instead of on it..!

Al-Ahli, which you all attacked before, during, and after the match, is the deserved and rightful champion; therefore, I repeat in all languages including Portuguese: Your discontent matters a lot to me.

Al-Ahli did not request to participate and was not prepared for it, but it responded to the Football Federation’s request after Al-Hilal withdrew.

Al-Qadsiah could have refused to play claiming they reached the final, but to lose by five goals and then issue that statement…!

As for Al-Nassr, it is looking for a straw to cling to after losing on the big night; Al-Nassr itself could have withdrawn based on the Appeal Committee’s decision.

Returning to the match, I saw what Al-Huwaish did to Al-Ahli, and found disasters that made me want to repeat, or rather not repeat, so as not to hurt hearts tired of waiting…

Finally:

Now that the gathering is over and Al-Ahli is crowned, I say with all sportsmanship: better luck next time.
