Saudi Fans Mock Ronaldo

By Daily Sports Nigeria on February 10, 2023

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi Arabia stay has hit a new low after fans mocked a viral video of his attempt at a skill in Al-Nassr’s latest game.

The Manchester United and Real Madrid legend signed a blockbuster £340million deal to stay in the Middle East for two years, but has already been linked with a return to Europe.

Fans offered a mixture of mockery and sympathy with Ronaldo, who many feel has seen his world-class ability wane significantly over the last 18 months. The 38-year-old finally scored his first goal in Al-Nassr’s 2-2 draw with Al Fateh last Thursday, but produced an underwhelming performance aside from his late penalty.

In a fan-recorded video shared on TikTok, Ronaldo receives the ball on the left wing and performs a ball-roll in an attempt to get past two defenders. He then tries to cut inside into the penalty area but is thwarted by the first opposition player.

As the ball rebounds back into Ronaldo’s path, he tries to cross the ball but his delivery is easily blocked. He is then outmuscled by the second defender who runs away with possession, leaving Ronaldo frustrated by the situation.
