• Brazilian superstar, Neymar Junior, joined his Al-Hilal colleagues in celebrating their Saudi King's Cup success over Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr
• The former PSG stalwart watched from the stands as the Blue Waves edged their local rivals on penalty shootouts, winning 5-4
• While Neymar was filled with joy, it was the opposite for Ronaldo and his team, as they missed out on winning a trophy this season

Neymar Junior could not hold back his joy following Al-Hilal's triumph over Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in the Saudi King's Cup final on Friday night.

The 32-year-old, who joined the bandwagon of A-list football players who moved to the Gulf country last summer, fused with his teammates during their celebrations.

While injury forced him to miss a staggering 48 games in the just-ended campaign, per Transfermarkt, it did not stop Neymar from basking in his teammates' glory.

Neymar watches as Al-Hilal beats Al-Nassr

Stationed in the VIP section of the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, the former FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain superstar watched on as his Hilal colleagues battled with Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.

He was filled with joy seven minutes into the game when Aleksandar Mitrovic broke the deadlock with a header, connecting from a Malcom cross, per Daily Sports.

However, for the remainder of the second half, the Brazilian was on tenterhooks as the Knights of Najd piled pressure on Hilal, which resulted in Ayman Yahya's equaliser with three minutes left on the clock.

The Saudi League champions will hold on despite being down to nine men, pushing the game to extra time and eventually post-match penalty shootouts.
