Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, Al Nassr, had a tough game against Al Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup final on Thursday (Feb 8). Al Hilal secured a 2-0 victory, leaving Ronaldo’s performance somewhat lackluster. Despite taking four shots during the match, only one was saved by Al-Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bonou. Throughout the game, Ronaldo faced taunts from Al-Hilal fans chanting Lionel Messi’s name, which seemed to agitate the seasoned player.

A separate video circulating on social media captured Ronaldo making an inappropriate gesture towards Al-Hilal and their fans as he exited the pitch. When a couple of Al-Hilal scarves were thrown at him, the 39-year-old took one and gestured towards his crotch area before discarding it.
