TOKYO : Al Hilal coach Ramon Diaz refused to be drawn on claims the Saudi Arabian club are attempting to sign Lionel Messi as he focused on his side's clash with Urawa Red Diamonds in the second leg of the Asian Champions League final on Saturday.
Diaz, however, stressed his sights are fixed on the meeting with Urawa at Saitama Stadium in the continental club final rather than the future of Argentina's World Cup-winning captain. Al Hilal are chasing a record-extending fifth Asian Champions League success and are the holders after defeating Pohang Steelers in the 2021 final.
Captain Salman Al Faraj is also expected to miss the game due to injury but Diaz is confident his team have the experience to overcome the loss of the influential duo."This team won the Asian Champions League twice . This is the third time, this is our target to bring this home.
