Cristiano Ronaldo responded poorly to Al Nassr’s recent loss, displaying frustration by stuffing a fan’s scarf down his pants and angrily throwing it back into the crowd.
This peculiar incident occurred following Ronaldo’s team’s 2-0 defeat against Al-Hilal in the final of the Riyadh Season Cup. Despite the tournament being labeled a mid-season friendly competition, it holds significance in Saudi Arabia. The pre-match buildup included WWE star The Undertaker presenting the trophy, adding to the anticipation.
However, Al-Nassr’s defeat, marked by first-half goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Salem Aldawsari, ensured Ronaldo wouldn’t lift the trophy. As the match progressed, Ronaldo’s frustration grew evident, exacerbated by chants from rival fans invoking Messi’s name, his longtime Ballon d’Or rival.
As Al-Hilal celebrated their victory with a guard of honor, Ronaldo seemed further agitated by a tournament official obstructing his path. Subsequently, Ronaldo directed his ire towards the crowd, reacting angrily to scarves thrown his way. In a moment of frustration, he grabbed one scarf, placed it on his lap, and flung it back into the stands.
Many criticized Ronaldo for disrespecting the traditional blue and white colors of Al-Hilal, questioning whether league authorities would take action against their marquee player.
