Jeddah is gearing up for a huge derby as Al Hilal take on Al Nassr in the King Cup final at King Abdullah Sports City in Saudi Arabia (Fri, 1900 BST).
The two clubs dominated the domestic league and its no surprise to see them both in the final of the cup.
Al Hilal finished 14 points in front of their city rivals and no less than 31 points in front of the third placed Al Ahli.
Both teams scored over 100 goals in Saudi Pro League, meaning we could be in for a action-packed cup finale in Jeddah.
Cristiano Ronaldo finished the league with two goals against Al Ittihad. The Portuguese superstar was the top scorer with 35 goals in 31 games, setting a new record in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo managed to win the Arab Club Champions Cup after a final against Al Hilal, but that remains the only trophy won by the Portuguese at Al Nassr.
