Frustrated Ronaldo Rudely Turns Down Coaching Staff Who Wanted a Selfie After Al Nassr Draw

• Cristiano Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure following Al Nassr's 1-1 draw with Al Khaleej
• The disappointing nature of the result could cost Al Nassr's slim hopes of winning the Saudi Pro League for the first time since 2019
• He is reportedly eyeing an exit barely five months since he penned a lucrative deal with the Riyadh-based giants

Cristiano Ronaldo's frustrations boiled over for the umpteenth time following Al Nassr's disappointing draw with Al Khaleej.

Al Nassr, who are in second position on the Saudi top flight table, missed out on an opportunity to unseat Al Ittihad at the top of the chart, at least temporarily, on the back of their 1-1 draw on Monday evening.

The 38-year-old could not inspire his side to a win despite going close on numerous occasions, including seeing his goal correctly ruled out for offside while Al Khaleej goalkeeper Al Haidari repelled Ronaldo on a number of occasions.

The 1-1 stalemate means Al Nassr's feint chances of winning their first league crown since 2019 appear to be fading away, which clearly left the ex-Real Madrid star frustrated.

After exchanging shirts with his Portuguese compatriot on the other side of the divide, a member of the visitors' backroom staff tried to take a selfie with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner but was shoved by a frustrated Ronaldo, per GOAL.

Ronaldo's partner blamed for draw

Al Nassr manager Dinko Jeličić appears to fault Cristiano Ronaldo's attacking partner Anderson Talisca following his side's costly draw with Al Khaleej on Monday, May 8, Sports Brief reported.

The Knights of Najd had the chance to temporarily usurp Al Ittihad at the summit of the Saudi Pro League. However, they fluffed their lines, sharing the spoils with the visitors.

Following the end of the game, Dinko, who is serving as Al Nassr coach on an interim basis following the sack of Rudi Garcia, appeared to blame the disconnect between his two attackers - Ronaldo and Talisca.

Ronaldo 'tricked' into joining Al Nassr

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Brazil legend Rivaldo has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo was 'fooled' into signing for Saudi Arabia giants Al Nassr. Ronaldo sealed a sensational January transfer move to the Riyadh-based outfit after he left Manchester United.

The veteran striker had his contract at Old Trafford terminated following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

According to Brazil icon Rivaldo, Ronaldo may have been 'fooled' into signing for the Saudi giants, with the ex-footballer claiming the forward could be unhappy in his new surroundings.
