Cristiano Ronaldo was involved in a hilarious trolling of Al Taawoun players in Al Nassr’s 1-0 win

Cristiano Ronaldo was in the middle of a tense and sarcastic interaction with opponent players during the Saudi Professional League match between Al-Nasr and Al-Taawoun on Monday. The Portuguese star was in the game as Al Nassr secured a decisive 1-0 victory to take second place on the log.

In what proved to be the last kick of the match, the Knights of Najd were awarded a free kick after Ashraf El Mahdioui committed a foul on Joao Felix. While the players gathered in the cooperation box, Ronaldo was seen getting into a verbal altercation with the visiting players.

In a clip circulated on the X website, Ronaldo gestured to Walid Al-Ahmad, the Al-Taawoun player, apparently to ask him to calm down. But the defender responded with a gesture of his own. As he approached Ronaldo, the 40-year-old responded with a silent gesture, which was accompanied by his previous gesture.

Then another player from the Al-Taawoun team pushed Ronaldo from behind a little, but the Al-Nasr man was not having it. Step back towards the player who pushed him and signal him to repeat the action.

The player then hit Ronaldo’s arm, but the striker smiled and the two players entered into a short quarrel. The visiting players appeared keen to provoke Ronaldo when another Al Taawoun player joined in the carnage, giving him a slight nudge on the shoulder, and they exchanged verbal remarks.

However, it was Ronaldo who had the last laugh when the referee blew the final whistle just a few seconds later. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner celebrated victory with great energy in front of his opponents before turning to cheers from his fans.
