TANGIER: Al-Hilal are 90 minutes away from becoming world champions after a stunning 3-2 win over Brazilian giants and Copa Libertadores title-holders Flamengo in the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup in Tangier on Tuesday.

The most successful club in Saudi Arabia and Asia have dozens of trophies in their cabinet back home but have never come close to a prize such as this.

Al-Nassr may have Cristiano Ronaldo but Al-Hilal are close to unprecedented glory. These are heady times for Saudi Arabian football indeed.

Saturday could be the best of the lot for Al-Hilal, though they are likely to find Real Madrid, arguably the biggest club on the planet, blocking their way in the final.
