In the round of 16, the only representative from Asia - Al Hilal, a team from Saudi Arabia, caused a shock when they defeated Manchester City 4-3 after 120 minutes of intense action. Although considered a much weaker team than Manchester City, Al Hilal proved that they are completely capable of creating miracles. This match not only showed their mettle but also demonstrated the drastic change in the way Asian teams play.
