Neves believes that such displays show that the quality of Saudi domestic football is higher than European fans believe. 

Neves told the Portugal FA website: "I invite those people to watch Saudi football.” 

He added: "I have said this a few times - if you compare my GPS data from English football to Saudi football, I run even more, but with the difference that I run in 40 degrees (celsius). 

"I am in good shape physically. Both Cristiano and I proved today that Saudi football has quality."
