Ronaldo had just lost his seventh match in a row in an Al Nassr shirt, which could explain why he became enraged and flung water at the TV reporter.
On the evening of July 28, Ronaldo’s unpleasant behavior occurred immediately following Al Nassr’s 0-0 tie with Al Shabab in the opening group of Group C of the Arab Club Champions Cup. The Portuguese superstar was talking to a teammate at Al Nassr by the touchline at the moment.
On the evening of July 28, Ronaldo (yellow jersey) hurled water at the cameraman following the Al Shabab draw.
The reason for the ex-Manchester United striker’s rage could be that he “did” 7 matches in a row. Not only was he “harmless” in the tie with Al Shabab, but he also failed to score in six matches, including wins over Alverca 2-0, Farense 5-1, Celta Vigo 0-5, Benfica 1-4, PSG 0- 0, and Inter Milan 1-1.
In Group C of the Arab Club Champions Cup, Al Nassr and Al Shabab are joined by Zamalek (Egypt) and Monastir (Tunisia).
The competition rules provide that the top two teams in each group progress to the quarterfinals. The Arab Club Champions Cup has 16 teams separated into four groups.
Ronaldo and his colleagues will kick off the Saudi Pro League season 2023-2024 as guests at Al Ettifaq’s field on August 14. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo scored 14 goals in 16 matches last season, Al Nassr finished second to Al Ittihad.
