"Talisca should be shipped to the Shanghai Sharks"- Twitter reacts as Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr draw against Al-Shabab in King's Cup fixture
Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr were held to a goalless draw against Al-Shabab in their first game of the season. The game was played in the Arab Cup of Champions, and Twitter fans reacted to the result.
Ronaldo came on right after the hour mark with the score at a goalless stalemate. Right after coming on, the Portugal captain brought some much-needed life to the team's attack.
His effort from right outside the box was brilliantly saved by the Al-Shabab keeper. While Ronaldo found the back of the net with an acrobatic effort, his goal was ruled out for offside, which some fans are doubtful about.
Apart from that, the Portuguese's free-kick in the dying minutes was a whisker away from the post after taking a wicked deflection.
While it was a lively performance from the 38-year-old, his team failed to impress fans, with one writing on Twitter:
"The Al Nassr keeper sucks and Talisca should be shipped to the Shanghai Sharks imo."
Al-Alamy will return to action when they take on Monastir in their next Arab Cup of Champions clash. Whether Cristiano Ronaldo starts that game or not remains to be seen.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions after the latest result:
