Fans Livid After Al Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo Lashes Out At Referee For Red Card - WATCH
Fans all over the world have gone completely livid in the aftermath of Cristiano Ronaldo's infamous antics during Saudi Super Cup semi-final. WATCH.
Al Hilal Vs Al Nassr: Al Nassr star forward Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked another controversy as the controversial footballer caused chaos in the Saudi Arabian football with his ‘arrogant and aggressive’ antics against Al Hilal in the semi-final of the Saudi Super Cup on Monday, April 8. The Portuguese legend received a red card for elbowing Al Hilal defender Ali Al-Bulayhi in the 85th minute but what followed afterwards was extremely unacceptable and derogatory, as the 39-year old seemingly attempted to punch the referee in the aftermath of the incident.

Al Nassr went on to lose the match 2-1 as goals from Al Dawsari and Malcolm gave the home side a two-goal cushion of a lead, and Sadio Mane’s goal in the dying seconds of the game merely acted as a consolation goal for the visitors, as they crash out of the competition.
