Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in Al Nasser against Al Fayya en route to the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League/Sport1
After being sent off after the obscene gesture he made towards fans who shouted "Messi, Messi" at him, Cristiano Ronaldo learned his lesson.
Last night (Monday), in front of Omar Azili's Al Ain (who was not included in the squad), the rival fans again teased Al Kochab Al Nasser with similar chants, and this time CR7 made sure to maintain restraint.
And there was also a game, in which the Saudi star team was disappointed with a 1:0 loss in the first of two games in the quarter-finals, when Al was banned in real danger of relegation.
Ronaldo had a hard time setting the tone against the inferior rival from the Emirates, and the network mainly mocked a particularly unfortunate personal performance:

"It's time to retire," wrote one surfer.
"The scam of the century," added another, and another surfer signed: "How can people say he's the best ever when they see him play. I'm crying. What is he trying to do?"
Al Ain player Khaled Al Hashemi claimed that at the end of the game, a nervous Ronaldo approached him and "told me that they would win in the second leg and advance. He was very angry at the refereeing. I told him that I agreed with him, the refereeing was really not good - but in their favor and not in our favor."
Even more blatant disdain for CR7 came from former Al Itifaq star Hamed Al Dabihi who said: "Al Nasser has big names, but they are not a team, certainly not in attack. At the moment, the only player who makes an impact there is Talisca. They have not won the championship because there is no She's a natural striker. Ronaldo is the top scorer, but that doesn't mean he's the best. Other teams don't fear him the way they fear Aleksandar Mitorić, for example."
Ronaldo almost scored an equalizing goal from the half
But finally it ended in another disappointment
A few months ago, Ronaldo claimed that the Saudi league is better than the French league, a claim that looks more absurd every day.
Now it's the turn of former France international Frank LaBeouf to attack back: "It annoys me to hear these things. Why did he say that about the French league and not the Portuguese league? Because Messi played in France. I have a lot of respect for him as a player, but just shut up already!"
