Cristiano Ronaldo lost in Saudi Arabia and ceded the lead to archrival Al-Nassr. However, what drew the most attention in the match against Al-Ittihad was the reaction to hearing the name of Lionel Messi chanted by the Saudi fans. Now, new images come to light of what caused the 'Bug' to hear that everyone reminded him of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) and current world champion.

In the last few hours, an image of Cristiano Ronaldo kicking a bottle after losing the Saudi Arabia classic went viral. While going to the dressing room, he lost patience and had the unfortunate action that caused the delirium of the rival fans, who shouted the name of Messi, a figure of the Argentine team in the World Cup in Qatar, where he scored seven goals and gave three assists.

Now, a new attitude of the top scorer in the Champions League against the fans of Al-Ittihad is published. During the development of the match, the local supporters did not miss the opportunity to bother the 'Bicho' and the name of the Rosario rang throughout the stadium, to which the Portuguese stopped and asked them to raise their voices, in a clear display of anger.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play in the 2026 World Cup?

At 38 years old, the former striker for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus decided to close his cycle in Europe and signed for Al-Nassr until 2025 and in exchange for 200 million euros per season. The captain of the Portugal National Team wants to stay in shape, but understands that his body no longer allows him to compete in the European elite. His intention is to fulfill his contract in the Middle East and hope that injuries do not prevent him from being present at the next World Cup.
