Neymar, a member of Al Hilal, played only three matches and then suffered an injury that required knee surgery until today. In three appearances with Al Hilal, Neymar only had two assists and not one goal. At the celebration of the 19th Saudi Pro League championship title in Al Hilal’s history and the fourth time in the last 5 years, Neymar carried his daughter down to celebrate and then went into the dressing room to “party”.

In match 31, Ronaldo had a hat trick against Al Wehda to help Al Nassr win 6-0. On the other side, Al Hilal also defeated Al Hazm 4-1 and was officially crowned champion 3 rounds early. Neymar carried his daughter onto the field to celebrate with teammate Al Hilal the 19th national championship title. And Ronaldo, after his super hat trick, only finished second.
The cruelty towards Ronaldo was many and great when he joined Al Nassr. There are many Middle Eastern and Saudi Arabian fans of Ronaldo. They idolize and admire Ronaldo, but on the field they always tease Ronaldo. Every time the Portuguese superstar had the ball, the stands chanted “Messi, Messi”, making Ronaldo bitter, frustrated and even losing control, leading to bad behavior , being carded, fined, suspension.
