Watch: Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo sparks controversy again, shoves rival team staff member over selfie request

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese football star, has found himself in controversy again, this time for scuffling with a staff member of a rival football team. After losing a match against Al-Kaleej, Ronaldo was approached by a member of the opposing team's staff who asked for a selfie. However, Ronaldo was not in the mood and brushed off the man, continuing towards the tunnel. This incident adds to a string of heated moments in what has been a volatile season for Ronaldo.

Ronaldo's team, Al-Nassr, drew 1-1 with Al-Kaleej in the Saudi Pro League, leaving them two points behind league leaders, Al-Ittihad. With only four games left to play, it is unlikely that Al-Nassr will catch up, and the gap could widen to five points. Adding to his disappointment, Ronaldo failed to score, making it possible for him to end his first season in Saudi Arabia without any trophies.

Last month, Ronaldo was accused of being petulant after he reacted angrily to being denied a penalty in a 4-0 win over Al-Raed. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner threw his arms up in frustration and lambasted the referee. He further expressed his discontent after a VAR check failed to overturn the decision.

Ronaldo could leave Al-Nassr as frustration continues to grow

Rumours have been circulating that Ronaldo is planning to leave Al-Nassr, despite being contracted until the end of 2025. The campaign has not gone as well as hoped, and Ronaldo has struggled to make a significant impact. The footballer signed a lucrative £172 million deal to play in Saudi Arabia after leaving Manchester United in acrimonious circumstances.

It is not clear what the future holds for Ronaldo, but he will need to work on his temper and focus on his game if he wants to make a real impact in Saudi Arabia. His behaviour on and off the pitch has been under scrutiny, and it remains to be seen if he can live up to the expectations of his fans and teammates.
