After finishing the last match of 2024, Leonid Slutsky's review of Shanghai Shenhua in 2024: "We had a great season, a very successful one. In the league, we scored many goals, but there was also pain, as we missed out on the championship by just one point. Overall, our performance in the league was satisfying. However, in the AFC Champions League, our performance cannot be considered successful—it was completely different from the CSL. "
