Turki Al-Sheikh, head of Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Entertainment and owner of Spanish club Almería, issued a fiery warning to Al-Hilal ahead of a friendly match between the two teams this evening in the British capital London.

Al-Sheikh wrote in several tweets on his official Twitter page: “Our match against Al-Hilal is an opportunity to test the capabilities of the Almeria forwards ahead of the match against Real Madrid.

He added, “I instructed the coach not to take my feelings as Hilal into account when scoring.”

He concluded: “Al-Hilal is my favorite team, but the Lions of Almería are hard to tame.”

In a second tweet, Al-Sheikh confirmed that there is no loser for him between the two teams today, writing: “In today’s match… between the love of my life, Al-Hilal… and the club that I consider born for me for many years… I hope everyone enjoys it… Welcome.” Together with everyone, enlighten us ❤️ and this week there are very important offers for Almería… and also some stars are sold at prices that please the fans… losing the leader today and lions.”
