Cristiano Ronaldo argues with opposition and STORMS off the pitch after AlNassrs draw to Al Feiha

Cristiano Ronaldo was seen arguing with opposition players after Al-Nassr drew 0-0 to Al Feiha on Sunday. 

His team now sit second in the Saudi Pro League title race after they dropped points to Al Feiha, as their title rivals Al-Ittihad secured a 2-1 win against Al-Wehda to go three points clear at the top of the league standings. 

But it was clear that Ronaldo’s frustrations boiled over at full-time, with the forward angrily gesturing and arguing with several opposition players, while also implying that the opposition, who are 11th in the table, had been time wasting.  

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner angrily said said to Al Feiha’s Ali Al-Zaqaan ‘You don’t want to play’, before storming from the field and down the tunnel. 

But it is not the first time that the 38-year-old has walked from the field in anger, with Ronaldo showing his frustrations kicking a water bottle and walking from the pitch after his side were beaten by Al-Ittihad 1-0 back in March.  

During that match, Ronaldo once again stormed from the field after fans taunted him shouting Lionel Messi’s name. 

But that is again not the first time he’s been taunted this season either, with a young fan heckling Ronaldo in the tunnel saying ‘Messi is better’ following a 3-1 win against Al-Batin.

On Sunday, Ronaldo appeared angry with his opposition players, even gesturing to one player to zip his mouth. 

As he marched off the field, his teammates and manager Rui Garcia remained to shake hands with the other team. 

Al-Nassr and Ronaldo may be made to rue their missed chances during the match, though. 

The striker failing to take several chances that could have won them the game and kept them neck-and-neck with Al-Ittihad. 

After a slow start to life in the Saudi Pro League, the former Manchester United man has started to pick up more goals this season, scoring a brace of goals during his side’s huge 5-0 drubbing over Al Adalh. 

He has now scored 11 goals in 10 appearances for the Saudi Arabian club, but despite his best efforts, his side now sit second in the league, and have only a handful of games left to topple Al-Ittihad at the top of the standings to claim his first domestic title since his departure from Manchester United. 

They’ll take on Al-Hilal on Tuesday in hopes they can recover some of the lost ground on Al-Ittihad.
