WHAT HAPPENED?

Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr were beaten on penalties in a chaotic King’s Cup final on Friday. A 1-1 draw also saw three players sent off before Al-Hilal emerged victorious after a shootout. The result means Ronaldo has missed out on yet another trophy with the Saudi side and he could not hold back the tears after the final whistle.

WATCH THE CLIP

Ronaldo was also subjected to Messi chants once again, as fans mocked the Portuguese superstar. Meanwhile, injured Al-Hilal star Neymar, who was watching from the stands, was spotted clearly enjoying himself as the chants for his former Barcelona team-mate rang out around the stadium.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The defeat means that Ronaldo is still yet to win a trophy with his Al-Nassr side following his move to the Middle East from Manchester United in 2022. In the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr finished a distant 14 points behind champions Al-Hilal, who completed a domestic double by winning the King’s Cup. Yet Ronaldo can console himself with the fact he picked up the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for 2023-24 after scoring 35 goals in 31 games.

WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO

Ronaldo will now turn his attention to Euro 2024 and the chance of glory with Portugal. The 39-year-old remains a vital player for Roberto Martinez’s side, with Portugal aiming to be crowned European champions for the first time since 2016.
