  • Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr crashed out of the Saudi King Cup at the semifinal stage on Monday night
  • A first-half strike from French forward Jean-David Beauguel was enough to hand Al Wehda a stunning win against Al-Nassr
  • The ex-Man United striker bitterly complained about the performance of his teammates to the technical team

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to endure a torrid time in the past couple of weeks as Al-Nassr suffered elimination from the Saudi King Cup.

The 38-year-old, who had bagged 11 goals in 14 outings prior to the game, was visibly frustrated with his team as they sought to snap out of their two-game losing streak.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo and Al-Nassr suffered an early setback after just 23 minutes when Jean-David Beauguel broke the game's deadlock to silence the home crowd, per GOAL.

Despite the many attempts at goal by Al-Nassr, they were thwarted by a resolute defence and goalkeeper Munir, who was in inspired form.

Following the halftime whistle, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward could not hide his disappointment by lamenting to the technical bench, ESPN reports.

Here is the video:

Ronaldo's Al-Nassr failed to recover from the early setback as they crashed out of the Saudi King Cup.

Ronaldo's recent woes

Cristiano has failed to inspire his side to a positive result in the last few games as Al-Nassr trail three points to current Saudi league leaders Al Ittihad, who have played a game less than Al-Nassr.

He was even involved in a WWE-inspired tackle during Al-Nassr's disappointing defeat against Hilal while also seen grabbing his crotch area as rival fans chanted the name of Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo teases career change

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on images of Cristiano Ronaldo taking photos during an Al Nassr training session have got fans talking on social media.

The viral photos emerged after a difficult week for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, that had seen his side suffer defeat at the hands of rivals Al-Hilal during the Riyadh derby.

The former Man United attacker was all smiles as he and his teammates trained ahead of their semi-final King Cup of Champions clash against Al-Wehda on Monday night. So much so that he teased a career change by assuming the role of a photographer midway through the session.
