After playing to a draw against Al-Khaleej, Al-Nassr found themselves further behind in the battle for the championship. In the meantime, supporters have taken to social media to criticise Cristiano Ronaldo for not scoring, with some even calling him a “fraud” for his performance.
Al-Nassr, which is currently in second position in the Saudi Pro League, was forced to settle for a 1-1 draw at home on Monday against Al-Khaleej, which is currently in danger of being relegated. This was yet another frustrating game for Al-Nassr. Because of this draw, the home team is now five points behind the team that is now in first place in the standings, which is Al-Ittihad. There are still four matches left to play.
In the meantime, the phenomenal Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to score and did not even provide an assist in the game. As a direct result of this, his followers have been dissatisfied with his recent performances. There were those who complimented him on his effort, but others who were confused by his gameplay, and still others who accused him of being a fraud.
While another user added, “Stop watching Al Nassr if you are a Ronaldo fan. One person commented, “Your mental health is more important,” while another user pondered, “Maybe if Al Nassr doesn’t win the league, Cristiano Ronaldo will leave the Saudi League, hmm?” (Your mental health is more important). A user also poked fun at the side by making the observation, “People actually believe Al Nassr would be able to capitalise when Al-Ittihad drops points.”
Additional comments were made by users, including one user who said, “Al Nassr can’t win this game?? ei na, what kind of team is Ronaldo transforming them into? what a con!,” one commenter wrote, while another asked, “Al Nassr, did Ronaldo not play?” What exactly is this?” While one user was writing, “Ronaldo, too, spoil Al Nassr low key,” another user was writing, “eyyyy Ronaldo then Al Nassr. I have faith that they will make a comeback because “my GOAT cannot lose like that.”
After some time had passed, a video of Ronaldo expressing his annoyance following the draw was uploaded to the internet. During the time that he was exchanging shirts and shaking hands with a few players from Al-Khaleej, an official from Al-Khaleej walked in to take a selfie with him. However, the Portuguese gently pushed him away and continued walking away, and the official did not bother to request him once more.
