Rúben Neves, the Portuguese midfielder who plays for Al Hilal, was provoked by fans of the Al Taawon team during a match. The rival fans shouted the name of Diogo Jota, another Portuguese player, in an attempt to provoke the footballer.
In response to the provocation, Rúben Neves is said to have stated that he hopes the fans don't pray after what they did, in a reference that is not entirely clear from the context of the article.
The incident occurred in the context of a match between Al Hilal and Al Taawon, two teams from the Saudi league. This type of provocation from fans is common in football matches, but in this case it involved references to Portuguese players.
Rúben Neves recently transferred to Al Hilal, joining other international players in the Saudi Arabian league, where Diogo Jota also plays, but for Al Ettifaq.
