Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal broke the world record for most consecutive wins by an elite team. On Tuesday, Al Hilal defeated Saudi Arabian champions Al Ittihad 2-0 in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League, marking the team's 28th consecutive success.
Thus, Al Hilal surpassed the achievement of the Welsh The New Saints, who recorded 27 consecutive victories in 2016. Al Hilal have won all their games since the 1-1 draw with Damac on 21 September - 16 in the Saudi Arabian League, 3 in domestic cups and 9 in the Asian Champions League.
The team's top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored 28 of Al Hilal's 81 goals during the successful streak. Ruben Neves and Neymar are also competing in the team, but the Brazilian is recovering from a serious knee injury.
The most impressive winning streaks in Europe's top leagues in the last decade belong to Real Madrid (22 in a row in 2013 under Carlo Ancelotti) and Bayern Munich (23 in a row in 2020 under Hansi Flick). /BGNES
