Al Hilal Players Channel Messi: Captain Salem Al-Dawsari Recreates Iconic World Cup Trophy Lift

Cristiano Ronaldo was cruelly trolled after Al Nassr’s humiliating 1-4 defeat to Al Hilal in the Saudi Arabian Super Cup final, when the opponent’s captain recreated Lionel Messi’s famous 2022 World Cup trophy celebration.

Al Hilal captain Salem Al-Dawsari cruelly mocked Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo with his cheeky celebration. Salem Al-Dawsari added salt to Cristiano Ronaldo’s wounds when he imitated Lionel Messi ‘s trophy celebration after winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar .

Ronaldo’s Al Nassr suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat in the Saudi Arabian Super Cup final as a brace from Aleksandar Mitrovic and goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Malcom secured victory for Al Hilal, despite Ronaldo scoring the opening goal.

Clearly not content with just beating Ronaldo in the final, Salem wanted to “swing the knife” even more when it came time to present the trophy. After receiving the trophy, Salem swayed from side to side and slowly walked towards his waiting teammates before raising the trophy high.

This was a perfect replica of what Lionel Messi did at the World Cup in Qatar when he led Argentina to a dramatic penalty shootout win over France in the final. Throughout the match, fans in the stadium chanted Messi’s name to taunt Ronaldo.

Al Hilal’s fourth goal also drew an angry reaction from the 39-year-old Portuguese superstar. Malcom took advantage of some careless passes from Al Nassr in the box to score, prompting Ronaldo to signal to his teammates that they were “playing like they were sleepwalking”. The climax of the frustration was Ronaldo heading straight down the tunnel after the final whistle without receiving his silver medal with the Al Nassr players.

This means the Portuguese superstar was not present at the medal ceremony and did not directly witness the opposing captain imitating Messi’s actions to troll him.
