Saudi Arabian defender Ali Al-Bulayhi was spotted \u201ctalking s***\u201d to Cristiano Ronaldo exactly one year after ruffling Lionel Messi\u2019s feathers at the World Cup.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old centre-back appears to have a knack for getting into it with the greatest, clashing with Ronaldo as Al-Hilal beat Al-Nassr 3-0 in the Saudi Pro League. It came after Al-Bulayhi stayed on the ground a tad too long for the Manchester United legend\u2019s liking after being fouled.<\/p>\n
Ronaldo sarcastically clapped the defender for play-acting, but would not have expected Al-Bulayhi to aggressively square up to him while yelling in his face. The Portugal captain seemed unintimidated though, laughing off the heated outburst.<\/p>\n

Al-Bulayhi was sent off at the end of the game for antagonising Al-Nassr fans. And after going viral on social media, fans soon realised he was responsible for a very similar incident with Ronaldo\u2019s long-time rival Messi at the 2022 World Cup, where Saudi shockingly beat eventual tournament winners Argentina 2-1.<\/p>\n
\u201cTears the guy is the same one that was talking s*** to Messi when Saudi Arabia was leading against Argentina in the World Cup,\u201d one fan wrote on X.<\/p>\n
Who do you think Al-Bulayhi will square up to next? Let us know in the comments section.<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another user quote-tweeted it with a clip of him going head to head with Messi at the World Cup alongside the message: \u201cHe\u2019s a menace,\u201d while another replied: \u201cWho does he think he is?\u201d<\/p>\n
And others agreed, tweeting: \u201cHe\u2019s so annoying bro,\u201d and \u201cI don\u2019t even think Messi understood a word.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latter was correct as Al-Bulayhi later revealed he told Messi: "You will not win, you will not win!" while his team was in front. He had slapped Messi on the back before barking intensely in the Argentine\u2019s face, with Messi clearly confused and laughing off the gimmick. <\/p>\n
Yet Al-Bulayhi could be deemed to have had the last laugh. He managed to beat both GOATs – the first at international level and the second at club level – a feat which few others can brag about.<\/p>\n
