"Galeno expressed his frustration on social media, stating, 'Hand over the trophy, that's what they want. They want to knock us out of the championship by any means necessary, they want to hand the trophy to one person, a total lack of respect for our club.'"
"Toney commented on the denied penalties, saying, 'The big talking point was the two penalties. It's as clear as day. I don't know what you want him to do, pick the ball up with two hands? Are you going to give a penalty then or not?'"
"Toney further criticized the referee's response, stating, 'If you want me to go deeper, I can go deeper but it might get me in trouble. I am a man that says it like it is.'"
Ivan Toney and teammate Galeno have raised concerns about the integrity of officiating in the Saudi Pro League, implying that the league favors Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr. Following a 1-1 draw against Al Fayha, Al Ahli players felt they were unjustly denied two penalties. Galeno expressed frustration on social media, suggesting the league aims to hand the title to one player. Toney echoed these sentiments, questioning the referee's focus and the denial of clear penalty calls, indicating a broader issue with officiating standards in the league.
