Ronaldo FIGHT: Cristiano Ronaldo HOLDS opponent in WWE-inspired headlock, RECEIVES yellow card following…
The Argentine’s name had already been used to provoke Ronaldo ahead of their Saudi Pro League meeting on Tuesday. On the evening, Al-Hilal fans greeted the Al-Nassr players with a thunderous chorus of Messi’s name before to their pre-match warm-up, which seemed to have the desired effect by the full-time whistle.

The Al-Hilal crowd booed and chanted “Messi, Messi” as the Portugal legend left the pitch. The Portugal star appeared to grip his crotch in an offensive gesture at the Al-Hilal supporters, clearly exasperated by the outcome and frustrated by the comments. Additionally, Ronaldo received a warning for putting Gustavo Cuellar in a funny WWE-style headlock.

Ronaldo’s 2-0 loss to Al-Hilal last night puts him in jeopardy of failing to win the league in his debut year. Due to two penalties converted by fellow ex-Man Utd attacker Odion Ighalo, his team collapsed. Having played one more game, l-Nassr is currently three points behind Al-Ittihad for the top spot.
Such responses are likely to make Ronaldo an even easier target in the future because he has already demonstrated a sensitive response to taunts from the opposing team’s fans. He and his Al-Nassr teammates will need to move past their defeat on Tuesday in order to perform well against Al-Wehda in their King Cup semifinal on April 24.
