Cristiano Ronaldo was pouting after brutal goal put Al-Nassr's title bid on hold
Safe to say that Ronaldo was not happy.
The Saudi Pro League doesn't exactly rank with the upper echelon of professional soccer leagues, but Al-Nassr did pay Cristiano Ronaldo too much money to come on board in 2023. And yet, the club hasn't won a league title since Ronaldo's arrival. That wait may continue after Tuesday's result, and the Portugal star was visibly furious about that.
With a chance to clinch the Saudi Pro League title against second-place Al Hilal, Al-Nassr saw those title hopes possibly slip away on the most embarrassing of own goals. As the match was nearing the final seconds of stoppage time, Al-Nassr goalkeeper Bento totally botched a long throw. The ball deflected off his hands and straight into the net for an own goal.
