Ronaldo's frustration is evident as Al‑Nassr lost the Saudi Super Cup final
Cristiano Ronaldo started the scoring in the Saudi Super Cup match, but his Al-Nassr team fell into a slump after the break and was defeated 4-1 by Al-Hilal FC. The Portuguese star did not hide his disappointment with his teammates' actions.
Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most decorated footballers in history, decided to transfer to the Saudi club Al Nassr at the beginning of 2023. His move to the Saudi Pro League sparked a wave of comments and speculation about its impact on his career's further development and the popularity of football in Asia.
His contract with Al Nassr, signed at the turn of 2022 and 2023, is a record-breaker. Annually, the Portuguese player earns as much as 170 million pounds. This enormous sum makes Ronaldo one of the best-paid athletes in the world.
Despite the enormous earnings that flow into the Portuguese player's account, he still hates losing. He showed frustration in Saturday's Saudi Super Cup match as Al-Nassr fell into a slump after the break and was defeated 4-1 by Al-Hilal FC.
Expressive gestures of Cristiano Ronaldo
Initially, nothing indicated a defeat. Towards the end of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo had some space in the penalty area, and although he didn't hit the ball cleanly, he scored with a light shot.
Then, the opponents scored four goals, and Ronaldo did not hide his disappointment. TV cameras captured the gestures that CR7 directed towards his teammates.
Besides the ostentatious spreading of his arms, there was a gesture of sleeping, which was meant to show that his team's defenders should finally wake up.
The trophy slipped through Cristiano Ronaldo's fingers. The Al-Hilal FC team performed mainly in the second 45 minutes and thus defeated Al-Nassr in the Saudi Super Cup final.
