Since arriving in Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has changed football in Saudi Arabia. The Portugal star drew a large audience to the Saudi Pro League, prompting several more famous footballers to follow in his footsteps. Ronaldo has also been doing well on the pitch, with his outstanding goal-scoring skills. However, one thing still bothers him and that is Lionel Messi.

Even if the two legendary football players are now on different continents, Ronaldo is still haunted by the Messi aura. ‘Messi-Messi’ chants from the opposite fans have frequently been seen insulting the Al-Nassr star, which has often frustrated the 39-year-old. It happened again when Ronaldo played against Al-Ahli Saudi in the SPL. The Al Nassr captain scored a penalty to help his team win 1-0, but throughout the game, home fans taunted him with Messi chants after he criticized one of the referee’s decisions.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was recently given a one-match suspension for making an aggressive gesture toward opponent fans who were taunting him with Messi chants. Ronaldo got frustrated with the Al-Shabab fans during Al-Nassr’s 3-2 victory and made an offensive gesture at them.

But in the match against Al-Ahli, Ronaldo won three points for his side in the 68th minute by converting a penalty kick that went into the bottom left corner. In any case, Al-Hilal, who are now leading the league table and have one more game remaining, are 9 points ahead of Al-Nassr.
