Cristiano Ronaldo showed his frustrations after Al-Nassr’s defeat on Thursday night in bizarre fashion, after supporters threw a rival shirt at him.
The Portuguese forward played the full match as his side were dealt a 2-0 defeat against Al-Hilal during a Riyadh Season Cup match.
Ronaldo was unable to prevent his side’s loss on the night and, afterwards, was unable to contain his emotions as he angrily reacted to the result.
Footage that appeared on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed the forward walking down the tunnel at the Kingdom Arena, before a fan threw an Al-Hilal shirt at him.
As he approached the tunnel, he picked the shirt up before seemingly rubbing it against his crotch and throwing it back towards the crowd in frustration.
