Can anybody stop Al Hilal from winning four trophies this season?
It looks increasingly difficult to slow down the Saudi powerhouse, but Al Ain will be the next team to try in the AFC Champions League semifinal.
Al Ain will host the first leg on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi as it aims to get off to a good start ahead of next week’s second leg in Riyadh.

Al Hilal has already won the Saudi Super Cup and has a 12-point lead in the Saudi Pro League over second-place Al Nassr. It has also reached the semifinal of the King’s Cup, which will take place later this month.
It looks like a daunting task for Al Ain, but the Emirati side has already upset Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr in the quarterfinal of the Champions League.
The winner of this tie will face the winner of the other semifinal between Ulsan HD and Yokohama F. Marinos.
