Follow usAl-Hilal has set a world record for consecutive victories by a top-flight team, securing their 28th straight win with a 2-0 triumph over Al-Ittihad in the Asian Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday. This achievement surpasses the previous record of 27 consecutive victories held by Welsh Premier League champions The New Saints (TNS) from the 2016-17 season, breaking Ajax’с 26-game winning streak that endured for 44 years.
Expressing gratitude to everyone at the club for their role in this historic winning record, manager Jorge Jesus remarked, “This is truly an incredible achievement. As I have said throughout this period, however, records do not matter as much as trophies.” He emphasized the importance of closing out the season as Roshn Saudi League champions and achieving their targets in cup competitions for a genuine celebration.
