Merih Demiral sparks controversy with ref claim about Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr
Demiral fumes after Al-Nassr's 2-0 defeat to Al-Ahli
Merih Demiral has sensationally claimed that referees are being influenced to help Al-Nassr win the Saudi Pro League title following a feisty encounter with Al-Ahli. The Turkish defender, who previously played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus, was left fuming after his side fell to a 2-0 defeat that saw tempers flare both on and off the pitch.
Confrontation erupts between Demiral, Ronaldo, and Coman
As the game ended, emotions boiled over. Demiral was central to the drama, engaging in heated verbal exchanges with both Ronaldo and Kingsley Coman. The confrontation didn't stop at mere words, as the defender took the provocative step of parading his AFC Champions League Elite medal around the stadium - a trophy Al-Ahli secured earlier this month - to remind the Al-Nassr faithful of his team's recent continental success.
