""We are happy to have delivered a good performance on all accounts," said assistant manager Massimiliano Farris, speaking because Inzaghi had strained vocal cords. "We have a significant number of players missing... but the [players] have performed well and achieved excellent results and performances in the league, the King's Cup and the AFC Champions League.""
""The reality now is that Al-Hilal are four points ahead," said coach Jorge Jesus, rueing the "gifts" his side offered in their latest loss, including a dreadful attempt at a pass by goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aqidi to give former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers' new team the lead in the 51st minute."
""The only story is that Al-Nassr lost due to individual errors. That's the story of the match. We must regroup and come back. Nothing is lost.""
Al-Hilal can move seven points clear of Al-Nassr after 14 games if they win the upcoming match. Simone Inzaghi's side beat Al-Hazm 3-0 to record an 18th straight victory, with goals by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Ruben Neves and Darwin Nunez. Al-Nassr have taken one point from their last three league matches, losing 3-2 at Al-Ahli and 2-1 at home to Al-Qadisiyah. Individual errors contributed to recent Al-Nassr defeats, including a poor pass by goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aqidi. Moteb Al-Harbi is expected to return; Yassine Bounou and Kalidou Koulibaly are at AFCON. Al-Hilal completed the signing of winger Sultan Mandash.
