Ronaldo returned in the final of the Riyadh Season Cup, but Al Nassr still played disappointingly and lost 0-2 to great rival Al Hilah. Not only that, superstar Ronaldo is being condemned by Saudi Arabian fans for two consecutive unsightly actions.

After missing Messi’s match against Inter Miami in the previous match due to injury, Ronaldo surprisingly returned in the final. The Portuguese player played 90 minutes and was scored 6.1 points by Sofascore – the lowest in the final. Ronaldo touched the ball 43 times but only made 4 shots, 3 of which missed the target.

In the final minutes of the match, fans present at Kingdom Arena mocked Ronaldo by continuously chanting for Messi in the stands. Ronaldo could not hide his disappointment and he reacted with an annoyed expression. He pointed at himself and then responded by saying: “I’m here, not Messi.” Previously, in the 53rd minute, Ronaldo was also warned by referee Tori Penso and given a yellow card for reacting and intentionally kicking the ball into the stands when Al Hilah received a direct free kick.

Not stopping there, when the match ended, Ronaldo continued to make Saudi fans angry by throwing his shirt into the crowd. Marca page recounted the situation: “On a surreal night in Saudi Arabia, with the appearance of WWE legend – The Undertaker, Ronaldo was not finished with his antics.

Footage appearing on site X (formerly known as Twitter) shows the Portuguese striker walking down the tunnel at Kingdom Arena. An Al Hilah fan threw his shirt at Ronaldo and expected something. However, as he approached the tunnel, Ronaldo picked up the shirt before rubbing it against his sensitive part and throwing it back towards the crowd in frustration. Thousands of boos and fierce criticism were directed towards the former Real Madrid player .

It seems like the shirt was thrown down to annoy the player who won the FIFA Golden Ball five times. Ronaldo then continued down the tunnel, followed by his Al Nassr teammates. Additionally, Ronaldo was also caught getting angry with a member of Al Nassr’s support staff when he led his team to receive a runner-up medal. When the referee’s path to the barrier of honor was blocked, Ronaldo also raised his hands in frustration and walked down the line with a cold face. These actions were judged by fans as ugly and unacceptable. More importantly, he just turned 39 a few days ago.”

Since moving to Saudi Arabia , Ronaldo has had many negative reactions. Images such as the reactions of fans on the field or shouting at members of the Al Nassr coaching staff also continuously appear. Even in November 2023, Ronaldo continuously shouted and demanded to change the referee during the 1-0 win over Al Ettifaq at the King’s Cup .
