Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr) left the pitch looking furious after lashing out at his teammates after missing out on Saudi Arabia's Super Cup.
Ronaldo's al-Nasr led Al-Hilal 1-0 in the final of the Saudi Super Cup on the 18th (Korea time) thanks to Ronaldo's first goal in the 44th minute of the first half and lost four goals in a row in the second half. In the 10th minute of the second half, Milankovic scored an equalizer, and in the 18th minute of the second half and 24th minute of the second half, Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic scored multiple goals. After conceding his third goal, Ronaldo looked desperate and raised his arms to make a disgruntled gesture. When Barcelona winger Malcolm's fourth net goal was scored 27 minutes before the second half, Ronaldo shouted at his teammates in a furious manner. He mocked his colleagues with a sleeping pose as if they were sleeping and even made obscene gestures, expressing extreme dissatisfaction. Without attending the awards ceremony, he came down the tunnel and left the stadium.
Ronaldo, who scored 66 goals in 72 games last season, led the team to victory in the Arab Club Champions Cup early last season. However, Ronaldo lost the league title with 82 points, 14 points behind last season's winner Al Hilal (96 points), and lost to Alnasr again ahead of the new season, causing Ronaldo to get angry.
Ronaldo also lost to France in the quarterfinals at Euro 2024, when he aimed to win his country Portugal, and struggled with five scoreless games.
Rio Ferdinand, who shared a meal with Ronaldo at Manchester United, once insisted that `Ronaldo is not going anywhere' when he will turn 40 in February next year. "I can't say too much, but Ronaldo has been doing a few things backstage and will play as long as he wants. I'm not going anywhere. We'll find out over time, but we'll play for at least three more years.'
