Saudi Arabia: Ruben Neves furious after chants about Diogo Jota 😡 | OneFootball

A disgraceful moment in the Saudi Pro League.

On Saturday night, the seventh-round league match between Al-Hilal and Al-Taawoun was marred by despicable behavior from some supporters.

During a stoppage in play, Al-Taawoun fans decided to chant Diogo Jota’s name at Ruben Neves.

The Portuguese midfielder obviously did not take kindly to these taunts about his close friend, who died more than a year ago in a car accident alongside his brother André Silva.

The former Wolverhampton player first responded with ironic applause before pointing to the sky to indicate to the supporters that someone up there was watching them.

Despite Al-Hilal’s 6-0 victory, the 29-year-old midfielder’s anger had not subsided after the match. "I just hope they won’t go and pray after what they did," he said during a brief stop in the mixed zone.
