Cristiano Ronaldo angrily pushed away a man taking a selfie after a frustrating first half for his Al-Nassr team in the AFC Champions League
Al-Nassr endured a difficult 90 minutes against Shabab Al Ahli of the UAE in their continental play-off. It was all-square at the break before the Emirati side took the lead, only for Ronaldo and his team-mates to prevail 4-2 thanks to a pair of stoppage-time goals.
At the break, however, much of the focus was on the Saudi side's big-name star. Reports suggested Ronaldo was frustrated after seeing at least one penalty appeal turned away by officials, and the Portugal star made his feelings known in no uncertain terms.
As the players leave the field, video footage shared on social media shows Ronaldo waving his arms and speaking in the direction of the officials. As he then approaches them, the veteran appears angry as he gesticulates further.
Team-mate Anderson Talisca also appears to have words with the referee and his assistant, while Ronaldo walks away accompanied by another colleague, Abdulelah Al-Amri. As he approaches the touchline, Ronaldo can be heard saying "wake up", with Goal reporting that he was addressing the officials.
Ronaldo then walks off the pitch, where his path is blocked by a man appearing to be attempting to take a selfie. The Al-Nassr man pushes the individual out of the way and continues to walk off.
Talisca opened the scoring in Riyadh, with Yahya Alghassani ensuring the teams went in level at the break. Ronaldo had seen three penalty shouts waved away, but his team-mates would later get the necessary goals to progress.
