Saudi arabia– Saudi Arabian Liverpool fans almost never travel alone. And as of late, Newcastle United supporters do not either. The Newcastle United Saudi Supporters’ Club visited the Official Liverpool Supporters’ Club in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday night for the first time since last season’s takeover to watch another Premier League classic between two teams whose games almost never fail to offer drama.
However, there was a spirited atmosphere and intense shouting throughout the game from fans of both teams at the Reds’ club headquarters in Riyadh. In the end, it was heartbreak for the NUSSC supporters as Liverpool stole a late goal to secure a 2-1 victory.
The OLSC president, Rakan Al-Saneea, expressed sympathy for Newcastle given how difficult it has also been for Liverpool. “Especially after (the) amazing performance in the FA Community Shield, it was not the start we needed from the coach and the players. I think the team was generally disappointed by losing the championship in the closing seconds and the UCL final the season before, but we will go on.
