Video: Cristiano Ronaldo's Temper Flares as he Shouts at Al Nassr Bench During Half-Time After Al Wehda Takes the Lead
At half-time, an agitated Cristiano Ronaldo was seen shouting at his own bench after Al Nassr conceded in the first half against Al Wehda.
On Monday, Al Nassr was defeated 1-0 in the semi-finals of the King Cup tournament at the KSU Stadium by Al Wehda.
During the first half, Al Wehda's Jean-David Beauguel scored the opening goal, while in the early stages of the second half, the Saudi Pro League team had one of their players sent off, reducing them to 10 men.
Although Abdullah Al-Hafith received a red card in the 53rd minute, Al Nassr was not able to score a crucial equalizer during the King Cup match.
In the 81st minute, Ronaldo came close to equalizing for Al Nassr, but his powerful close-range strike hit the crossbar and was not able to go into the net.
At half-time, the 38-year-old Portuguese forward appeared to be furious and was seen expressing his dissatisfaction towards his own bench.
One fan said in response to the footage: “Hating every single minute of it, isn’t he?”
Someone else added: “Oh dear, and they lost 11 minutes injury time didn’t help either.”
“Ruining his legacy as a player,” a third Twitter user wrote.

Another tweeted: “He’d genuinely have been better retiring five years ago, real damage to his legacy now.”
While a fifth said: “This is embarrassing.”
And a sixth commented: “Every week he’s fuming about something.”
Since joining Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has made 14 appearances and managed to score an impressive 11 goals while also providing two assists.
Despite his impressive performance, Ronaldo has experienced setbacks with Al Nassr, as they suffered a defeat in the Saudi Super Cup and currently lag behind Al-Ittihad in the standings of the Saudi Pro League.
