Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo was not in a good mood after his side’s 0-0 draw against Al-Shabab in the Arab Club Champions Cup and squirted water at a cameraman after the match, telling him to move away.
Ronaldo who was on the bench for the match and had a goal ruled out in the 75th minute was in no mood to entertain the cameraperson as he threw water at him and gestured him to leave him alone.
The decision to leave out the 38-year-old from the starting lineup raised a few eyebrows as the former Manchester United started both against Paris Saint Germain and Inter Milan in recent friendlies.
Al-Nassr manager Luis Castro decided to introduce Ronaldo to change the flow of the game in the 62nd minute as the game was 0-0 till that point.
The Saudi club will play Tunisian side Monastir on Monday before finishing off the group with a game against Egyptian side Zamalek on Thursday.
“The Saudi league is better than MLS,” Ronaldo had told reporters earlier in July after Al Nassr’s 5-0 preseason loss to LaLiga side Celta Vigo in his native Portugal.
“They criticized me for coming to Saudi League, but what happened now? I opened the way to the Saudi league, and now all the players are coming here,” he had said.
“My decision to join Saudi clubs was 100% crucial to bring in new top players. It’s a fact.“In one year, more & more top players will come to Saudi,” said Ronaldo.
“In a year Saudi league will overtake the Turkish league and Dutch league. Players who arrived aren’t like what the president of the European Union said. Jota & Ruben Neves are young players,” he had added back then.
