Cristiano Ronaldo pushed away a member of the opposition’s backroom staff after they attempted to take a selfie with him following Al-Nassr’s 1-1 draw against Al-Khaleej.
After the match, Ronaldo was inundated with requests from Al-Khaleej players and staff for his shirt and the Portuguese star eventually gave it to one player.
However, he wasn’t so friendly when a member of Al-Khaleej’s backroom staff tried to take a selfie with him and ended up pushing the person away.
It was a frustrating day for Ronaldo, with the result dashing Al-Nassr’s hopes of winning the Saudi Pro League title.
Ronaldo had a goal disallowed for offside during the match and his team is five points behind leaders Al-Ittihad.

Fabio Martins had put relegation-threatened Al Khaleej ahead after just four minutes before Alvaro Gonzalez equalized for Al-Nassr in the 17th minute.
In the next game for Ronaldo’s side, they will face Al-Ta’ee away from home on May 16.
Since moving to Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has scored 12 goals in 13 league appearances, although reports suggest the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is looking to leave his new club.
However, it now appears that Real Madrid are willing to offer Ronaldo a non-playing role as an ambassador El National.
The Spanish outlet said: ‘Florentino Perez has guaranteed that [Ronaldo] will not be short of work at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“But of course he wouldn’t do it to be a player because he believes it’s a cycle that should be considered closed.”
Ronaldo’s partner Georgina Rodriguez would also long for a return to the Spanish capital where the couple met.
Ronaldo is a club legend at Real Madrid, scoring 451 goals in 438 appearances during his time at the Bernabeu.

Should the Portugal star remain in Saudi Arabia, he could find himself lining up against long-term rival Lionel Messi, with the Argentina international considering a £320 million a year offer from Al-Hilal.
Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer and could be joined at Al-Hilal by his former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Earlier in May, it was confirmed that the Argentine would leave the French giants at the end of the campaign, before making an official trip to Saudi Arabia.
The World Cup-winning captain had already signed a £25 million-a-year ambassadorship deal with the province.
