Video shows Neymar participating in anti-Ronaldo stadium banter.
A video making the rounds on the internet appears to show Al-Hilal forward Neymar partaking as the Al-Za'eem corner of the stadium chanted “Messi, Messi” to taunt Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi King's Cup final against Al-Nassr.
Neymar joined Al-Hilal at the start of the season, but a brutal ankle injury limited his involvement to a handful of games. He is still recuperating, hence, he was in the stands while his teammates battled against the Ronaldo-led Faris Najd.

Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr
Al-Hilal's top scorer, Aleksandar Mitrovic, gave his team an early lead in the seventh minute. Things looked even better for the league champions when Al-Nassr's goalkeeper, David Ospina, was sent off for handling the ball outside the box. However, the match took a dramatic turn late on as both of Al-Hilal’s starting centre-backs received red cards, giving Al-Nassr a lifeline.
Ali Albulahyi was sent off in the 77th minute, and Al-Nassr quickly capitalised with an equaliser from Ayman Ahmed. Just minutes later, Kalidou Koulibaly also saw red, leaving Al-Hilal with nine men and the momentum firmly with Al-Nassr.

Despite their numerical advantage, Al-Nassr couldn't find a winner in extra time, leading to a penalty shootout. Both teams missed their first penalties, then scored the next four, and missed their sixth attempts. In the seventh round, Al-Nemer missed his shot for Al-Nassr, and Al-Dawsari scored for Al-Hilal, clinching the title for Al-Hilal.

Neymar was sitting in the executive box of the King Abdullah Sports City stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, while his team played against Luis Castro’s Al-Nassr in the cup final.
The Brazil international seemed to be enjoying his team's momentum, and in a video that has now gone viral, the former Barcelona winger was seen partaking in “Messi” chants to slight the captain of the opposing team, Cristiano Ronaldo.
