Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo caused a stir after his team, Al-Nassr, lost to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup final with a score of 4-1. In a scene that caught everyone’s attention, Ronaldo left the pitch immediately after the final whistle and refused to ascend the podium to receive the silver medal.
Ronaldo had scored Al-Nassr’s only goal in the match, but the team failed to maintain their lead as Al-Hilal scored four consecutive goals. After the fourth goal, Ronaldo was seen expressing his extreme anger at his teammates’ performance, waving his hand in the air and gesturing in frustration.
This refusal to accept the silver medal is the latest in a series of angry reactions from Ronaldo after losses. Since his move to the Saudi league, the Portuguese star has failed to achieve any victory over Al-Hilal except in a friendly match.
This incident serves to confirm Ronaldo’s commitment to winning and his high aspirations, but at the same time raises questions about the impact of these actions on the morale of his teammates and the player’s relationship with the management and fans.
This incident is expected to spark widespread debate in the coming days, especially as it comes at a sensitive time for Al-Nassr and its star player.
