Ahmad Al Masroui, Vice Chairman of Al Ain, says the club will approach the tie with Al Hilal like any other.
The 2017 AFC Champions League quarter-final ties were confirmed on Tuesday following the competition’s Knockout Stage draw in Kuala Lumpur.
Last year's runners-up Al Ain were drawn against Saudi Arabia outfit Al Hilal and their Vice Chairman Ahmad Al Masroui played down suggestions of a rivalry brewing between the two sides, welcoming the challenge instead.
"No (there's no rivalry), we always have a good relation with Al Hilal and a good relation with all the clubs in Asia," Al Masroui told Goal.
