Cristiano Ronaldo was taunted with chants for his rival Lionel Messi by opposition fans ahead of Al-Nassr's Saudi Super Cup semi-final defeat to Al-Ittihad.
The 37-year-old superstar failed to score his first goal for the Saudi side again, after also blanking on his official debut on the weekend.
Ronaldo was a peripheral figure in Al-Nassr's defeat and footage has emerged of the Al-Ittihad fans chanting: 'Messi, Messi, Messi'.
The former Manchester United star almost opened his account for Al-Nassr with a powerful close-range header but he was denied by a smart save.
Ronaldo has managed just one shot on target across both appearances for Al-Nassr.
And now, the Portuguese star, who has been treated like royalty since making his sensational move to the Middle East, has to contend with chants about his rival.
It comes after Ronaldo and Messi met for what may have been the last time at the iconic King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh last week.
Messi's touring PSG side faced a Saudi All-Star XI - which Ronaldo captained - in a glamour friendly.
It was Messi's PSG who came out on top 5-4 - with the Argentine netting within a few minutes. However, Ronaldo triumphed on a personal level, firing in a brace on his debut in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo is yet to score in Al-Nassr colours and he will be hoping that he can change that soon.
The Portugal striker completed his outrageous £175m-a-year move to Al-Nassr at the end of December following a bitter end to his Man United career.

Seriously speaking Ronaldo's Goatness can only be portrayed when he score goals but even without a Goal Messi wins Man of the Match. something that is only common to defenders and goal keepers. I haven't said that Ronaldo is a bad player but Messi is the better player

Today I had an exam in school. When I was done, I raised my hand and yelled “RONALDO!” My teacher smiled and took my paper. She knew I was finished.

Journalists should stop calling Messi and CR7 rival because they are no longer rivals. This debate has been settled and Messi is the complete GOAT 🐐, no doubt about it.

Ronaldo managing only one shot in two matches? Never worry. His praise singers - Instagram followers - are there to do the work for him without using his legs. 1. He has the biggest Instagram followers in the world. 2. He has the biggest shirt sales. 3. He now stays in the most expensive palace. 4. He has been given a golden wrist watch, an 18 karat. People who watched him inaugurated in Saudi Arabia were more than the entire Qatar World Cup spectators. 5. He has been given special boots. 6. His bones are like that of a 20-year-old. 7. On and on and on and on. So delivering only one shot in two matches is nothing as he (Ronaldo) doesn't need legs BUT MOUTHS and social media to win everything including World Cup.

pele was a national treasure for brazil he could easilly have go play with the top clubs to win ucls and ballon dor that time was only awarded to players playing in europe
You're here talking about the numbers of WC Pele won but are you aware that he literally did nothing in the 3rd one? That's to let you know that the Brazilian national team was dominant during that period and not just Pele. It's just like claiming that Ronaldo won the Euros for Portugal, meanwhile he did nothing in the final. It takes a team to win the WC (trophies in general) and not just an individual no matter how good he is. Messi isn't GOAT because he won WC with Argentina. He's GOAT because no one has ever been capable of doing what he does with the ball and that's why there's no player in the history of football with the numbers and types of individual accolades that Messi has won for both club and country.

Pele remains the Goat of football actually. If Messi becomes the Goat for winning a world cup where do you place a player that won 3 World Cup and who was specially awarded even at his old age ...Pele
Pele did not play half of what Messi played,you that they gave birth to yesterday,if is judged by playing football,then Messi is far from him.

it beats my imagination honestly when people think Ronaldo is better than Messi or has ever been better than Messi...if you watched Messi play and you still think some one else is better, I really can't trust your judgement on things. aside what the two players have achieved in their illustrious career in which Messi has achieved the most success, when it comes to pure footballing ability, Messi is miles and miles ahead of everybody else, Ronaldo included... so this narrative that Ronaldo has the highest number of followers on IG, his Nasser presentation had more views than the entire world cup, Ronaldo is bigger than Man United, bigger than the world cup, Ronaldo is being payed the highest salary is just a lame argument... if anything, it makes him an IG biggest influencer, it doesn't make him the GOAT...Messi without the world cup was already the greatest of all time, him winning the world cup was just the icing on the cake to help stop the forced debate
