Gomes further stated during the pre-match press conference: "In the last meeting between the two teams, Al-Hilal won 4-3. This means we are a strong team and we can win if we make a greater effort because we will face a strong and balanced team in all lines, and they will play at home with the same strength from the first minute to the last."
