It must be pressure because Cristiano Ronaldo tightens up whenever he faces Al Hilal. The Al Nassr skipper came into the game against their rivals with some serious momentum. However, his performance on the field has been narrating a different story. The Portuguese superstar is struggling with his 1v1 miss against Yassine Bounou, perhaps the game’s most significant highlight so far!

The miss hasn’t been the only fumble tonight from the Al Nassr skipper, with the player missing some crucial scoring opportunities. His teammates have been seen expressing dissatisfaction with his actions, with midfielder Marcelo Brozovic throwing his hands up in frustration at the lack of passing from Cristiano. It will be interesting to see if Al Nassr can turn things around. So far, Al Hilal has comfortably controlled most of the contest and will be pleased with their performance heading into halftime.

Meanwhile, Cristiano and his men desperately need to come back to the contest. Al Nassr has failed to bag a single win over their rivals across all competitions this season and will be eager to prove their critics wrong tonight. However, with Al Hilal holding a stiff defense, Cristiano Ronaldo and his side could be in for an uphill climb.

Fans annoyed with Cristiano Ronaldo’s subpar outing against Al Hilal

While his teammates have been somewhat annoyed with his performance, it seems like the fans are no different, with many blasting him for his audacious miss against Al Hilal. One fan claimed Cristiano always goes back into a shell whenever he’s up against Al Hilal.

Another fan questioned Sadio Mane and Cristiano for their performance, claiming they are wasting a lot of the team’s chances.
