Portuguese footballer Ruben Neves, who plays for Al Hilal, responded to a provocation that involved the name of fellow Portuguese Diogo Jota, a Liverpool player. Ruben Neves's response was captured during the match between Al Taawon and Al Hilal in the Saudi League.
The confrontation was marked by the shameful behavior of the home team's fans, Al Taawon. The actions of the fans provoked a reaction from the Portuguese player, who did not let the provocation go unanswered.
In his response, Ruben Neves is said to have declared: «They shouldn't pray after what they did,» in a clear reference to the situation that sparked the provocation. The phrase suggests that Al Taawon fans did something that deserved the Portuguese midfielder's reproval.
This incident highlights another episode of inappropriate behavior by fans in football matches, in this case related to the rivalry between Portuguese national players and the provocations directed at them during games.
