Saudi Arabia star Ali Al-Bulayhi has revealed that he screamed at Lionel Messi that his side “would not win” in a tense exchange between the pair.
The Al-Hilal defender was involved in arguably one of the biggest World Cup shocks in living memory on Tuesday with one of the pre-tournament favourites Argentina opening up their campaign with a 2-1 defeat.
Paris Saint-Germain superstar Messi had given the South American side the lead from the penalty spot at the Lusail Stadium and had another strike ruled out by the offside flag. Lautaro Martinez was then also left frustrated as VAR chalked out his goal for a marginal decision.
