Statistically, Riyadh Crescent have won 23 consecutive matches in all categories, scoring 69 goals, equaling the record set by Bayern in 2020. However, they still have work to do as they are still four games away from the longest winning streak in world soccer held by Welsh side New Saints. Despite missing a top star like Neymar, Riyadh Crescent showed a strong fighting spirit with consecutive months of victories to keep the Crowe-led side at bay after they suffered a 0-3 defeat. With Riyadh Crescent's rapid development on all fronts, they are hopeful of making a run at the season-long quadruple crown, and Crowe is eager to lead his team to the title.
