Al Hilal’s star signing Neymar has started his career in Saudi Arabia in stop-gap fashion. The Brazilian forward signed for Al Hilal in the summer from PSG in a massive move. However, he has yet to find the back of the net for his new club. Now, the Al Hilal frontman has mocked the club’s next opponents, ahead of their upcoming game in the AFC Champions League.

Al Hilal traveled to the Azadi Stadium in Iran to play against Nassaji Mazandaran in the AFC Champions League. However, after a video emerged of grounds staff laying patches of grass onto the stadium’s pitch, Neymar dished out a hilarious response.

In reaction to the clip, commenting on a 4-word response on X, Neymar tweeted: “This is not possible” along with a couple of emojis. This was in response to the video posted by ActuSPL that read: “The Azadi stadium, which will host the match between Nassaji and Al Hilal next Tuesday !!!! CATASTROPHIC”

Neymar has yet to score for Al Hilal since his debut earlier in September but has managed two assists. However, whether Neymar can play in the game against Nassaji remains unknown. According to reports, the Brazilian forward is facing another injury scare as reported by Al Hilal’s physio recently.

Neymar emerges as a doubt to start for Al Hilal against Nassaji Mazandaran after ill luck

Speaking about Neymar’s probable injury, Al Hilal’s physiotherapist, Thamer Alshahrani said, “In the coming days, he will need extensive recovery to speed up his return to training directly with the team. We may see him using ice on the areas of the interventions to which he was exposed: Right foot, Left foot, and Left knee,”

This comes after Neymar missed a penalty in Al Hilal’s 2-0 win against Al Shabab. Goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic and former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly gave Al Hilal the win and 3 points. Subsequently, this prompted Neymar to post a 3-word tribute to his teammates on Instagram.
