ماذا حدث؟ هل سقط مانشستر سيتي بصفقاته الجديدة؟ هل فشل قائد ثورة كرة القدم بيب جوارديولا في حل اللغز والعودة بالنتيجة؟ هل خرج مدرب ريال مدريد تشافي ألونسو راضياً ومقتنعاً بالتعادل في أولى مبارياته مع الريال؟
ماذا تغير لتتحول طموحات الأندية العربية من الاحتفال بهدف في مرمى أحد كبار القوم إلى اكتساح أندية أوروبا وأمريكا الجنوبية آداء ونتيجة؟
نعم.. ببساطة كل ما حدث أن مشروع السعودية الرياضي أطلّ برأسه على كرة القدم العالمية، صفقات لم تُبرم لمجرد التباهي أو لفت الأنظار، بل لاكتساح المشهد والتأكيد على حقيقة واحدة مفادها، أن هذه الأرض هي المكان الأول للنجاح، وأن رؤية ولي العهد رئيس مجلس الوزراء الأمير محمد بن سلمان هي مصدر إلهام في شتى المجالات.
أما كبير آسيا وزعيمها الأوحد، فريق الهلال فهو قصة مختلفة، منه بدأ النجاح وبتواجده لا مجال للمستحيل، دخل البطولة دون ترشيحات وبانتقادات واسعة لعدم إبرام التعاقدات، إلا أن للقميص الأزرق هيبته الخاصة، قميص حضر فأكد أن للمحافل الكبرى فريقاً يجيد تشريف الوطن، تجلى الهلال خير تجلٍ وأصبح أول فريق آسيوي وعربي يكسب مباراة إقصائية في كأس العالم للأندية بنظامها الجديد.
«المشروع السعودي» يضيء سماء «أورلاندو»
هز عرش «مدريد» وأسقط «السيتي» لا زعيم .. إلا الزعيم

What happened? Did Manchester City stumble with its new signings? Did the leader of the football revolution, Pep Guardiola, fail to solve the puzzle and turn the result around? Did Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso leave satisfied and convinced with the draw in his first match with the team?
What has changed for the ambitions of Arab clubs to shift from celebrating a goal against one of the giants to sweeping European and South American clubs in both performance and results?
Yes... Simply put, what happened is that Saudi Arabia's sports project has made its presence felt in global football. Signings were not made just for show or to attract attention, but to dominate the scene and affirm one undeniable truth: that this land is the primary place for success, and that the vision of Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman is a source of inspiration in various fields.
As for the great Asia and its sole leader, Al Hilal, it is a different story. Success began with them, and with their presence, nothing is impossible. They entered the tournament without any predictions and faced widespread criticism for not making signings. However, the blue jersey carries its own prestige; it is a jersey that arrived and confirmed that at major events, there is a team that excels in honoring the nation. Al Hilal shone brightly and became the first Asian and Arab team to win an elimination match in the FIFA Club World Cup under its new format.
