Cristiano Ronaldo could not bear the defeat of his team, Al-Nassr, in the Saudi Super Cup this Saturday against Al-Hilal (1-4).
The 2023 Arab Champions Cup, won on August 12 last year, is the only trophy so far won by Cristiano Ronaldo since he joined Saudi Arabia on December 30, 2022. This Saturday, the football star was counting on adding a cup to his trophy cabinet. In vain…
A finalist in the Saudi Super Cup with Al-Nassr, CR7 suffered a bitter defeat – the defending champion Al-Hilal dominated the match with a score of 4-1. The Portuguese goal scorer opened the scoring well before the break (44e), but the Blues responded with aplomb after the break, finding the net four times in 17 minutes thanks to Milinkovic-Savic (55e), Mitrovic (63e69e) and Malcom (72e).
Explicit mimes
An unacceptable disappointment for Cristiano Ronaldo who, dejected, could not help but attack his teammates, accusing them – with explicit mimes to support his claim (see below) – of sleeping or wetting themselves in front of a supposedly superior opponent.
This is in a difficult context since the Al-Hilal supporters chanted the name of Lionel Messi, his great rival, throughout the game. Several times already the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, betrayed by his impulsiveness, has distinguished himself by bad gestures in Saudi Arabia. Sometimes with financial sanctions to the key.
