A scathing video showing a fan of Saudi Pro League club, Al-Nassr, ranting about Cristiano Ronaldo has gone viral online.
The Portuguese star hit a new low as his side suffered a painful exit from the AFC Champions League on Monday, March 11.
Ronaldo was the only player out of the four penalty takers from his team to score his spot kick as his side crashed out of the competition, while Al Ain advanced to the last four for the first time since 2016, according to ESPN.
Ronaldo misses sitter in AFC CL
On a personal level, Ronaldo will be happy to have added another goal to his impressive tally as he struck from the penalty spot with two minutes remaining.
But the 39-year-old was also guilty of missing a gilt-edged chance as the ball fell to his feet just a few yards from goal. With the Al Ain goalkeeper bearing down on him, the former Real Madrid star somehow directed his shot wide, to the disbelief of fans in the stadium.
