Well, Cristiano Ronaldo‘s night has absolutely turned into a nightmare! If the drama at the end of the first half wasn’t enough, the Al Nassr skipper found himself within the eye of the storm in the dying minutes of the game. The 84th minute of the match saw Cristiano and Renan Lodi contest for a ball on the sidelines. With the contest tilting towards Al Hilal, the Al Nassr skipper tried to pry the ball away from the defender. However, Lodi quickly squared up against the Portuguese, riling him up!

Cristiano did not take too kindly to Lodi’s actions as he allegedly elbowed the Brazilian as he took to the ground. The incident saw a fight break out between the two sides, with Al Hilal players rushing in to push the Al Nassr players away from their fallen teammate. The match official was not impressed with Cristiano Ronaldo as he reached into his pockets to fish out a red card, ejecting the Al Nassr skipper from the game.

Cristiano did not take too kindly to the red card, as he was seen screaming at the match official. The Al Nassr skipper noticeably made offensive gestures towards the referee as he walked back towards the dugout. Even Al Nassr players looked stunned as they were seen talking to the referee about the booking. However, it seems like the referee had his mind made up with the Al Nassr skipper already on thin ice after picking up a yellow card in the first half.

Al Hilal once again bagged a win over Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr

Some things are just specified in the Saudi Pro League. Rival fans riling up Cristiano Ronaldo, lousy officiating standards, and Al Hilal beating Al Nassr. The Knights of Najd just can’t find a back to get the albatross out of their necks. Al Hilal has the upper hand over their rivals in all their encounters this season. The recent fixture between the two teams was no different, with the Blue Waves picking up a comfortable 2-1 win at the end of the final whistle.
