Cristiano Ronaldo did not look happy after his side Al-Nassr had to settle for a goalless draw against Al-Shabab in the Arab Club Champions Cup. Both teams locked horns in a group stage match of the tournament. Ronaldo, although did find the back of the net, had his goal disallowed as he was caught offside.
Ronaldo came in as a substitute for Al-Nassr with over an hour to go in the match. The legendary Portuguese centre-forward scored a stunning goal in the 75th minute but it was declared offside by the referee which took the score line back to 0-0.
Later, after the end of the match, a frustrated Ronaldo was seen throwing water at a cameraman who was trying to get a close shot of him. Subsequently, the 38-year-old’s anger did not stop there as he gestured to the cameraman to leave that place.
The video of this incident involving the modern-day football great is now making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared on Twitter.
Here’s the video:
