White-hot Merih Demiral does not take mocking post kindly and storms into dressing room with, among others, Tijjani Reijnders

Merih Demiral was absolutely furious on Tuesday evening after Al-Ahli's defeat. After the match, opponents Al Qadsiah posted a photo on X mocking the Turkish defender. He was clearly not pleased.

Demiral was left with a bitter taste after the clash with Al Qadsiah. The 28-year-old centre-back could not stop a 3-2 defeat and then watched Tijjani Reijnders take man of the match for the opposition after scoring twice.

With the win, Al Qadsiah moved level at the top of the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal. Their celebrations after beating Al-Ahli, however, went too far on Tuesday evening.

Al Qadsiah's X account administrator decided to mock Demiral by posting a photo of the Turkish defender looking at a phone. The accompanying caption read: "As always, you can find the pain of defeat on his account."

He saw the post and stormed into the opposition dressing room looking for Al Qadsiah's administrator. Demiral reportedly demanded an apology and insisted the post be removed, which it eventually was.

Even before this, the former Juventus defender had shown himself to be a bad loser after Al-Ahli defeats. In April, for example, he was absolutely furious after Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr proved too strong. Afterwards, he shared two photos of his AFC Champions League medal. "For the first time, they are seeing a Champions League medal in their stadium," he wrote.
