The match ended with a 4-5 victory for Al Hilal and highlighted the performance of Saudi attacker Salem Al Dasawari, who closed the match with a hat trick.
But all the focus was on Neymar’s return, who days before had revealed in a video the suffering that he had suffered due to his absence from the playing fields. “What I want most in life is to play football. I have suffered a lot every day I have been off the field. This is what hurts me the most,” Neymar said through tears.
