The time Cristiano Ronaldo confronted an Al Hilal player for copying him

Cristiano Ronaldo has been involved in heated rivalries, team-wise and footballer-wise. Football fans and the media have compared him and Lionel Messi for many years, which caused a competitive rivalry. Ronaldo has played in big teams during his career, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. All those clubs have rivalries within their respective leagues. Now, in Saudi Arabia, it is no different, as Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr is competitive with arguably the biggest Saudi Arabian club, Al Hilal.

Al Hilal is the current Saudi Pro League leader with 68 points and is 12 points ahead of Ronaldo's Al Nassr in the table. Since Ronaldo's arrival, Al Hilal has beaten Al Nassr in two competitive games while Al Nassr beat them in one. Al Hilal beat Al Nassr 2-0 and 3-0 in the Saudi Pro League, and they will play again on May 16th. Al Nassr defeated them 2-1 in the Arab Club Champions Cup Final.

In Ronaldo's only win against Al Hilal in the Arab Club Champions Cup final, one of the players revealed an interaction he had with the Portuguese striker. Brazilian attacker Michael scored the opener in that game and celebrated like Cristiano Ronaldo and did the "SIUUUUU" celebration in front of him. Ronaldo would then equalize for Al Nassr and then score the winner to give Al Nassr the win. Although Ronaldo got the last laugh, the Portuguese confronted the Brazilian for the celebration he did against him and his team.
