Cristiano Ronaldo ignores young heckler taunting him with shouts of ‘Messi is better’ in the tunnel
Cristiano Ronaldo IGNORES the youngster who interrupted him by taunting him with shouts of ‘Messi is better’ in the tunnel as Al-Nassr chased Al-Batin at half time… as the Portuguese star yelled ‘easy game?’ before his Saudi team staged a heroic comeback
Cristiano Ronaldo ignored a child’s nagging about his ongoing battle with Lionel Messi, instead concentrating on a tough game in Saudi Arabian First Division.
Ronaldo failed to add a goal contribution during Al-Nassr’s 3-1 comeback win over Al-Batin, as the Portuguese star’s side only secured victory in stoppage time.
It was a particularly tough first half for the Riyadh-based club, who went into half-time down 1-0 thanks to an effort from Renzo López.
The performance prompted a young fan to taunt the 37-year-old by telling the Portuguese megastar in English ‘Messi is better’ as Ronaldo made his way through the tunnel.
However, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player apparently simply ignored the verbal comment, instead expressing his frustration with the way the match was going, particularly when they were expected to be favorites for the clash.

Abdulrahman Ghareeb, Mohammed Al-Fatil and Mohammed Maran all scored in stoppage time to secure a 3-1 win, although the final score did not accurately reflect the difficulties of the match.
There’s an ongoing back-and-forth discussion about which of the two elite footballers is the better one currently plying their trade in the beautiful game, and it’s something that will arguably never really be resolved.
