GOAT ANGRY! Cristiano Ronaldo loses his cool and screams in the face of a referee, ordering him to “wake up,” before pushing a fan who tried to take a selfie with him.
A frustrated Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to demand the referee to ‘wake up’ during Al-Nassr’s 4-2 win over Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai.
His team overcame a 2-1 deficit to advance to the group stage of the Asian Champions League. Despite not scoring himself, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner did provide an assist to Marcelo Brozovic for his team’s fourth goal.
At other occasions, Ronaldo appeared disgruntled, arguing with the officials after his team’s repeated calls for penalties were denied.The 38-year-old then walked confidently away after being spotted ranting at the referee and apparently stating “wake up” with his arms waving.
He was then seen in a second video strutting confidently off the field while pushing a man out of the way who had attempted to snap a selfie with the former Real Madrid and Man United player.After losing their first two games of the Saudi Pro League season to Al-Ettifaq and Al-Taawon, Ronaldo’s team is off to a disappointing start.
Despite the fact that he has scored 20 goals in 27 games for the Saudi side in all competitions since arriving in January of last year, the five-time Champions League winner has had a rough time of it since arriving in the Middle East.His team came so close to winning the Saudi Pro League last season, but ultimately fell short to rivals Al-ittihad.
Less than a year after joining the club, Ronaldo was devastated when his first season finished without a trophy. There had also been rumors that he intended to leave.Ronaldo’s rage tonight was the latest in a string of displays after his team was eliminated from the King Cup Champions.
He was also captured on camera hurling water at the cameraman and kicking out at a water bottle.
The good news for Ronaldo is that with the win, his team joins Al-Ittihad and cup winners Al-Hilal as the three Saudi Pro League teams that have qualified for the AFC Champions League.
In the Saudi Pro League, his team faces Al-Fateh this Friday and Al-Shabab the following week.
