Lionel Messi was shook when Saudi Arabia defender Ali Al-Bulayhi squared up to him after the goal with a strong message. You can call it a prophecy that came to pass.
The obviously charged Ali Al-Bulayhi was confident, that Saudi Arabia was cruising to a famous victory and sent a strong word to Messi in such a way that, Messi was hunted by the words each time he had the ball to his foot.
The strong prophetic frightening message sent to Messi after Saudi Arabia’s second goal
When Saudi Arabia went ahead 2-1 in their historic win, Ali Al-Bulayhi slapped Lionel Messi’s back, squared up to Argentina forward and said, “You will not win, you will not win!” after Saudi Arabia’s second goal on Tuesday.
This was not just a bold statement but the underdogs knew they had put the Argentines in a very uncomfortable position and the longer they kept the top players hypnotized in that state the better their chance.
Messi is a world record holder with even-time Ballon d’Or winner pride representing Argentina at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World cup. He netted Argentina’s goal in the 12 minutes of the first half. But they failed to come to the party in the second half and Herve Renard’s men found the back of the Argentine’s net in the 48 minutes through a Saleh Alshehri equalizer.
Messi, who looked baffled throughout the ordeal, eventually started laughing after Al-Bulayhi squared up to the Paris Saint-Germain forward.
Was this an attempt to intimidate Argentina’s captain or was he just having some fun? Well, after the full-time whistle, the defender opened up on that conversation.
You can see that bizarre moment between the two players below.
The world got shocked when Salem Aldawsari’s magnificent effort from the edge of the box handed Herve Renard’s side a surprise 2-1 lead.
Indeed the message “You will not win, you will not win!” after Saudi Arabia’s second goal on Tuesday from the lips Ali Al-Bulayhi came to pass as Saudi Arabia got the most recent and biggest upset result against Argentina.

No one gave Saudi Arabia a dog’s chance of ever winning not even a draw against one of the favourite teams tipped to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but they came, they saw, and they conquered.
