More than 72 hours have passed since the intense Saudi derby, where Al Hilal triumphed over Al Nassr. However, the aftermath of the match continues to spark controversy. Following an on-field confrontation with Cristiano Ronaldo, an Al Hilal star found himself subjected to a plethora of online taunts from netizens. In response, he has decided to pursue legal action against those responsible for the online abuse.

The poor loss keeps Luis Castro’s side in second place, as now the difference in points from their rivals has increased to seven points.

Al Hilal’s 3-0 win against Al Nassr was quite eventful. During the match, Cristiano Ronaldo lost his nerves as he made gestures against the referee for favouring the home side. However, Al Hilal defender Ali Al-Bulayhi quickly rushed towards the 38-year-old and started trash-talking.

While Ronaldo’s response was a constant smile, it didn’t settle with a few netizens, who apparently slammed and even abused Al-Bulayhi. Now, the situation has escalated further as Al-Bulayhi is now looking to respond in a legal way.

In a statement, the defender’s agent said, “A number of tweets insulting our client were monitored, and legal action will be taken against their owners.” It seems the Saudi Arabian international isn’t happy with the comments he had to face from the netizens. 

Notably, Al-Bulayhi made the first move by posting an eyebrow-raising collage on his Instagram account with a boastful caption as well. But it now seems to have backfired on him as he faced online abuse.

Leeds United sent birthday wishes to their former player, David Batty, in an interesting way. The Peacocks posted a video of an old match against Manchester United on their Instagram account, where Batty can be seen giving a lot of tough shoulder pushes to a young Ronaldo. The intensity of the challenges was evident, causing even Ronaldo to appear discomforted. 

Interestingly, accompanying the clip was a caption saying, “The real GOAT! Happy Birthday, David Batty!” The post included Ronaldo hashtags, adding a touch of irony to the tribute.
