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.
Fans React Heavily As Cristiano Ronaldo's Red Card Against Al Hilal Has Broken The Internet
Not only this, Cristiano Ronaldo has now received his 12th red card of his career and Al Nassr becomes his fourth different club where the Portuguese footballer has received a red card.
With this, Al Nassr have now crashed out of the Saudi Super Cup and the club are now on the verge of going trophyless this season, as Al Hilal have dominated the club in every tournament of 2023/24 so far.
