Cristiano Ronaldo was very disappointed by Al Nassr's defeat to Al Ittihad. CR7 gave vent to his emotions by kicking bottles on the sidelines. Ouch!
Al Nassr faced its closest rival, Al Ittihad, in Week 20 of the Saudi Arabian League. The duel was held at King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah, Friday (10/3/2023) in the morning WIB.
Ronaldo appeared in full against Al Ittihad. The presence of the 38-year-old bomber was apparently not enough to make Al Nassr appear sharp in Jeddah.
Yes, Al Nassr was unable to dismantle Al Ittihad's defense for 2x45 minutes. Instead of scoring a goal, The Global Club actually conceded before the end of normal time.
Foreign player Al Ittihad, Romarinho, successfully scored against Al Nassr. The home team closed the game with a 1-0 win.
Cristiano Ronaldo seemed furious that his team had to swallow defeat at Al Ittihad headquarters. The owner of five Ballon d'Or was caught on camera expressing his emotions by kicking a bottle when he was about to enter the stadium aisle.
Ronaldo's emotional attitude was negatively responded to by the audience at King Abdullah Sports City. They replied by echoing the name of Lionel Messi, CR7's arch-rival.
Ronaldo also expressed his feelings on social media. He thanked all Al Nassr fans who still support his team.
"Disappointed with the result, but we are still focused on this season and looking forward to the next matches. Thank you Al Nassr fans for the support, we know we can count on you," wrote Cristiano Ronaldo on Twitter.
This defeat forced Al Nassr to drop to second place in the Saudi Arabia League standings. Al Ittihad won the top of the standings with 47 points, one point ahead of their rivals.
Sometimes in football, one has to express his feelings
