In a video shared on social media on Tuesday night, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to make an offensive gesture at fans as he leaves the field to “Messi” chants.
The accomplished forward played the entire game as Al-Nassr fell to Al-Hilal 2-0 on Tuesday.
Dinko Jelicic’s team lost further ground as a result, falling farther behind leaders Al-Ittihad by three points despite having played one more game. Third-placed Al-Shabab, with one game in hand, are three points behind them.
Superstar Ronaldo was visibly enraged as he stormed off the field. Videos posted online appears to show him grabbing his crotch in response to supporters screaming Lionel Messi’s name.
In what was definitely an attempt to taunt CR7, fans sang “Messi! Messi! Messi!” repeatedly inside the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh. The former Manchester United player looked to put his hand in his genital region. He then pulled upward as he made his way to the tunnel.
