Furious CR7 Rants At Officials, Pushes Spectator In Al Nassr Win
23 August, 2023
A furious Cristiano Ronaldo was seen yelling in an official's face and pushing a fan trying to take a selfie with him during Al Nassr's dramatic 4-2 win on Tuesday night.
The Portuguese star's team had to come from behind to beat Shabab Al Ahli in an Asian Football Confederation Champions League play-off clash, in which the 38-year-old was left seething as the referee denied him two penalties in the first half.
Ronaldo failed to get on the scoresheet, but thought he should have had two opportunities from the spot and made his feelings known as he walked down the tunnel at the break. The ex-Manchester United No. 7 also appeared to be seen telling the fourth official to "wake up", before he shoved a man attempting to get a picture with him.
It has been a difficult start to the season for Al Nassr, who have lost their opening two Saudi Pro League matches of the campaign.
Ronaldo and his teammates did, however, recently triumph in the Arab Champions Cup, in which the legendary forward scored six goals in as many appearances.
Besiktas-linked Talisca was on hand to strike twice for the Knights of Najd in Tuesday night's victory, while Sultan Al Ghannam and Marcelo Brozovic also found the back of the net.
