Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr suffered from another blow as the Saudi Arabia club were knocked out of the Kings Cup of Champions by a 10-man Al Wehda in the semifinals on Monday. The Portuguese international was left frustrated by his team’s result as he was seen reacting furiously towards his own team bench at half-time when his team were trailing 1-0.
So far, Ronaldo has scored 11 goals for Al Nassr in 13 games. However, he failed to find the net in his team’s recent all-important clash against Al-Wehda. The oppostion forward Jean-David Beauguel scored a stunning bicycle kick to knock Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr out of the Kings Cup.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward could only manage one shot on target – a close-range effort in the first half which was saved by the goalkeeper Munir Moahmedi. Ronaldo was seen shaking his head in frustration as he raised his voice towards the coaching staff at half-time.
The five-time Ballon d’Or holder parted ways with Manchester United on mutual consent after falling out of favours with coach Erik ten Hag and his explosive interview which was the hot topic of the town for quite some while during the FIFA World Cup 2022.
ELIMINATED! Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, has just been eliminated from the Kins Cup.
