🤑 Al-Hilal hand out generous bonus after Saudi side make history in the US
There were several questions about the value that Al-Hilal would pay as a "bicho" to the athletes after the historic classification to the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup over Manchester City.
It was up to journalist Ahmed Al-Qarni, who works for the Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper and is a member of the Saudi Arabian Media Sports Federation, to reveal the value in question.

According to him, each athlete earned 2 million Saudi riyals, which is equivalent to R$ 2.9 million.
The club itself released a video with the presence of president Fahad bin Nafel in the locker room of the Camping World Stadium.
The material preserved the "mystery" about the value, as there is a cut before Fahad bin Nafel talks about the money in question.
The sequence shows the arrival of coach Simone Inzaghi and several athletes going to hug the president after the "revelation" that was of great interest.
The "bicho" in the context of football refers to the value paid to athletes and members of the technical committee after relevant victories or other important results.

Al-Hilal, with Brazilians Marcos Leonardo, Malcom, Renan Lodi, and Kaio César, will face Fluminense next Friday (4), starting at 4 pm (Brasília time) for a place in the semifinals.
Whoever advances will guarantee a prize of $21 million from FIFA.
Which is equivalent to 78.7 million Saudi riyals and R$ 114.4 million.

Phil Foden scored his 100th goal for Pep Guardiola's side when levelling in extra-time against their Saudi Pro League counterparts before slipping to a 4-3 reversal. Advertisement Remarkably, the Blues' homegrown star is only their 20th player to reach a century and second in their current squad after Erling Haaland previously hit that milestone. The 'Stockport Iniesta' has hit some crackers en route to triple digits and against some of the biggest and best that elite-level football has to offer. Here's just a small sample of Foden's goal-scoring brilliance. But which one was your favourite? Let us know in the comments. 📸 David Ramos - 2025 Getty Images

Brayden Jacobs is so big he makes 6-foot-4 ex-NFL RB dad fun sized
Brandon Jacobs was an absolute nightmare for NFL defenses to tackle. At a listed 6-foot-4 and 264 pounds, he was built like an edge rusher but ran like the New York Giants once hoped Ron Dayne would. He totaled more than 5,000 rushing yards in eight seasons with New York, including a pair of 1,000-yard campaigns and two Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots. This is all to say it's very difficult to make him look small. So if the soon-to-be 43-year-old running back is worried about that, maybe he should stop working out with his son, Brayden. Brayden Jacobs is a 6-foot-7 offensive tackle who committed to Clemson University as a high four-star recruit last January. And maybe the perspective or dad Brandon's weighted jumping form is playing tricks on me, but he certainly looks like he may have grown since his last official weigh-in. So let's see if that's just a camera tr-- Hmmm. Nope. That's just a big dude. The Jacobs genes produce tiny mountains who absolutely should never fly coach. Well, good luck getting around that, ACC pass rushers. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Brayden Jacobs is so big he makes 6-foot-4 ex-NFL RB dad fun sized
