Ramon Diaz says Al Hilal have “all the tools” to deliver yet more Asian Champions League success, as he promised to stick his attacking principles in the first leg of the 2022 final against Urawa Red Diamonds on Saturday.
The holders, record four-time winners of the continental crown, host their Japanese counterparts at what is expected to be a sell-out King Fahd Stadium before they travel to Saitama for next week’s return fixture.
The tie marks Hilal’s fifth appearance in the showpiece in the past nine years, while it also represents a re-run of the 2017 and 2019 finals.
The Saudi Arabian champions lost the former to Urawa but triumphed two years later to end an almost two-decade wait for the trophy.
