Cristiano Ronaldo was left utterly disappointed as Al Nassr crashed to a 0-2 defeat against Al Hilal in a pre-season tournament, Riyadh Season Cup final.
Goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (17′) and Salem Aldawasari (30′) saw Al Hilal win the trophy.
Al Hilal fans were happy with their team’s display and in particular targeted Ronaldo, mocking him with Lionel Messi chants during the match. The chants started after Ronaldo missed an opportunity to score in what turned out to be a one-sided first-half.
In response, the Portuguese star showed a thumbs-up to the crowd before displaying his iconic ‘calm down’ gesture. Here is the video:
Ronaldo is currently in fiery form and has already scored 20 goals in 18 matches in the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League season, packed with nine assists. He has also registered three goals in five AFC Champions League matches, including three assists. He will be crucial in their upcoming match, considering his goalscoring pedigree in big games. He will also be looking to win the AFC Champions League, having won the UEFA Champions League on countless occasions.
