Fans of a Saudi Arabian club mocked a Welsh team that lost in the Scottish Challenge Cup final on social media.
The New Saints (TNS) lost 2-1 in the final of the competition on Sunday against Scottish team Airdrieonians.
The fans of Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, which has players like Neymar in its team, announced the victory of the Scottish second division team, due to a strange rivalry with TNS.
Their dispute centered on a dispute over the Guinness World Record for most consecutive victories.
The Welsh teams claimed a record run with their 27th against Newtown, only to later learn that they do not officially qualify as their fourth round tie with East Fife in October was settled on penalties.
Al Hilal fans mocked Welsh team TNS for their defeat in the Scottish Challenge Cup final
Al Hilal fans responded to TNS’ full-time tweet to mock them for their loss in a rivalry that centers on the Guiness World Record for most successive wins.
Al Hilal then rightfully took the record with their 28th consecutive win against Al-Ittihad earlier this month, and have since extended it to 29.
Fans of the Saudi club were quick to mock TNS after the Welsh team suffered its first defeat since August 1, when they were eliminated from the Europa Conference League in Luxembourg. A win would also have left 34 on the spin (including penalties).
A crowd of Al Hilal supporters bombarded the TNS post on social media during the final whistle with laughing emojis.
One fan said: “You won’t become Al Hilal,” while another wrote: “Try again… Al Hilal’s quest is very difficult.”
Another supporter said Al Hilal was “always first” and told TNS to “stay away from the big world.”
While another posted a graphic showing Al Hilal with the record for longest winning streak in football.
Al Hilal have dominated the Saudi Pro League this season with a team consisting of players such as Neymar, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The last time they failed to win a match was a 1-1 draw against Navbahor in the AFC Champions League on September 18, and their last loss was against Al-Nassr in the Arab Club Champions Cup a month ago. before.
Al Hilal achieved the record for most consecutive wins in their victory over Al-Ittihad this month.
They have a 12-point lead over Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo’s side are likely to miss out on the league title.
TSN have sealed the Welsh Championship with a record of 26 wins and 2 draws, 26 points ahead of their closest rivals.
Their participation in the Scottish Challenge Cup is due to the fact that two invited teams from the Cymru Premier League can compete in the competition.
