Thomas Tuchel's controversial Cristiano Ronaldo decision proven right after heated Al-Nassr rant

Sections of the Chelsea fanbase were desperate to see Cristiano Ronaldo join the club in the summer, but Thomas Tuchel reportedly blocked the move

Cristiano Ronaldo launched a verbal attack on the Al-Nassr coaching staff after the Saudi Arabian outfit headed into the half-time break 1-0 down to Al-Wehda in the King Cup of Champions semi-final.

The Red Devils sought legal advice and his contract was ultimately terminated. Naturally, some of the wealthiest clubs in Europe were rumoured to be interest in Ronaldo, but he joined Al-Nassr instead.

While the veteran striker has scored plenty of goals in Saudi Arabia, he seems to have a few problems on his plate. At the start of the month, Ronaldo was involved in a tense post-match interview after Al-Nassr were held to goalless draw by by Al-Feiha in the Saudi Pro League.

Then, on Monday night, he was involved in another spat. Upon the half-time whistle, Ronaldo was visibly annoyed and he was seen angrily gesturing towards his side's dugout. He and his teammates later re-emerged but they couldn't find an equaliser in the second-half.

According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs in the summer, Tuchel was a primary 'roadblock' in negotiations when Todd Boehly tried to sign Ronaldo. Following his latest outburst, the German's decision has been proven right, with Chelsea facing enough controversy as it is at the moment.
