Mumbai City FC fans could be in for a treat if they draw Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal in the AFC Champions League group stage draw. The two clubs have been drawn together in the same pot, meaning they could be drawn into the same group.
If that happens, Mumbai City fans would have the chance to see some of the biggest names in world football play in India. Al-Hilal’s squad is packed with stars, including Neymar, Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, Malcolm, and Sergej Milinković-Savić.
Neymar is one of the most popular footballers in the world. The Brazilian superstar has won everything there is to win at club level, including the Champions League with Barcelona.
Ruben Neves is a highly rated midfielder who has been linked with a move to some of the biggest clubs in Europe. The Portuguese international is known for his passing ability and his long-range shooting.
Kalidou Koulibaly is one of the best defenders in the world. The Senegalese international is known for his strength, his aerial ability, and his leadership qualities.
Malcolm is a talented winger who has played for Barcelona and Bordeaux. The Brazilian international is known for his pace, his dribbling skills, and his eye for goal.
Sergej Milinković-Savić is a powerful midfielder who has been linked with a move to Manchester United. The Serbian international is known for his passing ability, his long-range shooting, and his ability to score goals from midfield.
Of course, there is no guarantee that Mumbai City will draw Al-Hilal in the group stage draw. But if they do, it would be a huge opportunity for Indian football fans to see some of the best players in the world in action.
