Ronaldo won his first title with Al-Nassr but could not hide his anger at a decision by the organization.

Today, Cristiano Ronaldo shone in Saudi Arabia. The Real Madrid legend was clutch and scored two goals to overcome Al-Hilal in the final of the Arab Champions in numerical inferiority. Thus, he lifted his first trophy with Al-Nassr and was the top scorer in the tournament. Now, in the middle of the festivities, he couldn't help but complain about an award that he didn't get.

 

Despite clearly being the most outstanding footballer, the organization decided to name Al-Hilal's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as the best player in the final. Incredulous, Cristiano claimed the decision from one of the officials, telling him that he had scored both goals for his team to win. A curious image that shows the hunger to win that the Portuguese has at all times.

However, despite the bad moment, Cristiano Ronaldo lived a day full of emotions and he seemed very happy, in fact, he had never been seen so happy since he arrived in Saudi Arabia in January of this year.

When will Cristiano play again?

The conquest of the Arab Clubs Championship is only the beginning of a long journey for the Asian team. Al-Nassr's next match will be against Al-Ettifaq in what will be their debut in the Saudi Arabian First Division. Added to that, next Tuesday, August 22, the team will play the Play-off for the AFC Champions League, although they still don't know who their rival will be. Therefore, complicated commitments are coming for CR7 and his team.
