Furious Cristiano Ronaldo tells Al Feiha official to shut up after Al-Nassr's disappointing 0-0 draw, video goes viral on social media
Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo looked furious after the goalless draw with Al Feiha on Sunday, lashing out at an unsuspecting Al Feiha official.
Saudi Pro League contenders Al-Nassr were held to a goalless draw at Al Feiha’s King Salman Sports City Stadium on Sunday (April 9). The draw saw the Riyadh-based outfit fall three points behind league leaders Al-Hilal in the title race, with only seven games to go.
Like most of his teammates, Ronaldo was also off-colour on Sunday night, struggling to get into the game. Having cut a frustrating figure in front of goal, the Portugal icon stormed off the pitch after the final whistle, asking one Al Feiha official to shut up on his way out.

The video of the incident has since gone viral on social media. Ronaldo had the least number of touches (40) of any outfield player to play 90 minutes on Sunday. He attempted four shots, only one of which landed on target. He was caught offside four times, lost all four of his ground duels and was dispossessed twice by the opposition.
