Cristiano Ronaldo has vented his frustrations to the referees during Al-Nassr’s 4-2 win against Al-Ahli, with the Portuguese superstar appearing to yell at the referee and tell him to ‘wake up’.
His side made a stunning turnaround during the match to secure their place in the group stage of the Asian Champions League, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner failing to get on the scoresheet but assisting Marcelo Brozovic for victory over his squad. fourth.
But during the game, Ronaldo occasionally made a disgruntled figure by protesting to the referees after his side had several penalties rejected by the referees.
The 38-year-old was then seen yelling at the referee and appearing to say ‘wake up’, waving his arms before walking away.
He was then pictured in a separate video posted online pushing a man trying to take a selfie with the former Real Madrid and Man United star out of the way as he left the pitch.
Ronaldo’s side have had a frustrating start to the Saudi Pro League season, having lost both opening games to Al-Ettifaq and AlTaawon.
Although the five-time Champions League winner has scored 20 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions for the Saudi side since arriving in January last year, it’s been a rough start to life in the Middle East for Ronaldo.
His side narrowly missed out on victory in the Saudi Pro League last season as their rivals Al-ittihad overtook them to clinch the title.
Ronaldo was left distraught when his first season ended trophyless and not long before that there were suggestions that he wanted to leave the club less than a year after joining the club.
Tonight’s fury was the latest in several outbursts we’ve seen from Ronaldo, who was seen furious on his own bench after his side crashed out of the King Cup Champions.
Ronaldo was also seen kicking a water bottle, while he was also caught on video throwing water at a cameraman.
