Is Al-Nasr strong or Al-Hilal weak? The historical title questions the Jesus Battalion

Portugal’s Jorge Jesus led Al-Nasr to a historic title in the Saudi Roshan League after a torrid season that saw the clash with Al-Hilal go all the way to the last round of the competition.

Al-Nasr officially clinched the title after beating Damascus (4-1) to finish the season at the top, just two points behind Al-Hilal, in one of the most exciting Saudi league seasons in recent years.

The great controversy surrounds the identity of this season’s true champions, and whether the title came on the strength of the win or a retreat from Al-Hilal’s usual form.
