Cristiano Ronaldo is facing backlash from football fans online following Al Nassr’s humiliating defeat to Celta Vigo in their pre-season friendly game on Monday, July 17.

According to Sportskeeda, Ronaldo and Brozovic were both subbed off early in the second half, which opened the floodgates as the Saudi Pro League side conceded five goals with the forward on the bench.

Gael Alonso got the opener just before the hour mark before Miguel Rodriguez and Jorgen Strand Larsen nabbed braces to ensure it was a five-goal thrashing without reply.

Al Nassr will hope to get a better result when they file out in their next pre-season game against Portugal side Benfica on Thursday.

Fans reaction to Al Nassr’s defeat

Meanwhile, fans have now taken a jibe at Ronaldo following his comments about the Saudi Pro League being better than the MLS immediately after Al Nassr’s 5-0 loss to Celta Vigo.

Beno SarkCess also took a jibe at Ronaldo after he tweeted:

“Ronaldo’s Al Nassr drinking 5 goals from Celta Vigo. I promise Bofoakwa Tano FC sef go lash Al Nassr with no stress.”

An Argentina fan page also took a shot at Ronaldo after Al Nassr’s embarrassing defeat.

More fans also took a swipe at the Al Nassr team for their loss.

Fans attack Ronaldo’s MLS comments

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Cristiano Ronaldo was attacked on Twitter by Lionel Messi fans after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner recently criticised the Major League Soccer in an interview.

The 38-year-old Al Nassr forward suggested that the Saudi Pro League was way superior to the MLS after long-term rival Lionel Messi completed his switch to Inter Miami.

Ronaldo made the dig at Messi after Al Nassr’s pre-season friendly game against Celta Vigo, where his team where thrashed 5-0 by the La Liga side.
