Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted in tears on Friday evening after his team, Al-Nassr, suffered a heartbreaking loss in the King of Champion Cup final against their rivals, Al-Hilal. Despite his reputation for being dedicated and passionate about the game, Ronaldo was comforted by his teammates as Al-Nassr ultimately lost 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in extra time. Brazilian superstar Neymar was seen enjoying his former team’s win from the stands.
A video of Ronaldo visibly upset at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia quickly went viral online, with fans expressing their sympathy for the Portuguese superstar. On the other hand, Neymar cheering for his former team from the stands became the talk of the town too.
