• Cristiano Ronaldo fluffed his lines when it mattered the most
• The 39-year-old missed a golden chance from just three yards
• His miss proved costly as Al-Nassr crashed out of the AFC CL

Football fans criticised Cristiano Ronaldo for an astonishing miss from close range during Al-Nassr's tightly contested AFC Champions League quarter-final match against Al Ain on Monday evening.

Widely regarded as the most prolific goal scorer in football history, Ronaldo's phenomenal career is marked by numerous records to back this claim.

According to The Punch, Al-Nassr found themselves trailing by a goal in the first leg and looked to their iconic Portuguese forward to deliver, as he has done throughout his illustrious career.

However, despite their need for a comeback, Ronaldo's side faced a setback as Al Ain extended their lead to two-nil. Nevertheless, a spirited performance from Luis Castro's team pushed the game into extra time.
