That is the action that Al Hilal fans often do to mock Cristiano Ronaldo on Al Nassr side every time the two teams meet. One fan commented: “I thought he and Ronaldo had mutual respect? I’m starting to think not.” Another fan said: “I bet Ronaldo will unfollow Neymar.”
In this match, Neymar’s Al Hilal defeated Ronaldo’s Al Nassr on penalties after the two teams drew 1-1 in 120 minutes. After the penalty shootout at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium ended, Neymar ran onto the field to celebrate with his teammates.
On his personal page, the Brazilian star wrote: “Congratulations to the whole team on a great season, and today you surpassed yourself again! Thank you for the treble this season. Next season, let me worry. This season, Saudi Arabia is blue (the traditional shirt color of Al Hilal).
Since joining Al Hilal last summer, Neymar has not contributed much to the Saudi Arabia team because of his struggles with injuries. The Brazilian star only had 5 appearances, including 2 matches in the AFC Champions League and 3 matches in the Saudi Pro League. However, the striker born in 1992 still had a season full of titles with a “treble” including Saudi Pro League, Saudi Super Cup and Saudi King Cup.
