After Beating Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr, Al Hilal Star Drops an Insinuating Message – “I Was Born for These Types of Challenges”

The Saudi Pro League derby between Al Hilal and Al Nassr continues to make strides. In a surprising turn of events, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates found themselves on the receiving end of a resounding 3-0 defeat by the hands of a Neymar-less side. While the soccer world buzzes with discussions surrounding this unexpected outcome, the aftermath has been further fueled by a bold statement from an Al Hilal star. 

Luis Castro’s side couldn’t surpass their arch-rivals in the standings, as the gap has now widened to seven points.

Al Hilal star sends a warning after defeating Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. 

After a decisive victory against Al Nassr, Al Hilal’s Ali Al-Bulayhi marked the occasion with a distinctive celebration. The Saudi Arabian international took an unconventional approach by sharing a picture collage created by 433 on Instagram. The montage featured two moments: the first capturing him in conversation with Lionel Messi during the 2022 World Cup, and the second portraying his recent confrontation with CR7 in the derby. 

Aside from this, he added a fiery caption, saying, “I was born for these types of challenges. Make sure that I am always ready for these challenges.” As if the defeat wasn’t disheartening enough, Ali Al-Bulayhi gleefully rubbed salt in the wounds of Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.

The reason he added this picture is that earlier, he managed to defeat Lionel Messi’s Argentina 2-1 in the opening group stage matches of the 2022 World Cup while with his national side Saudi Arabia. 

Now, he managed to dominate another legendary player of the beautiful game. Be that as it may, it is quite a boastful and eyebrow-raising claim from Al-Bulayhi. Notably, the good times don’t end here, as he and his teammates are in for a major financial reward. Let’s dive deeper.
