Cristiano Ronaldo has been the subject of online trolls following his red card incident in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final.

The 39-year-old, representing Al-Nassr, experienced disappointment as his team bowed out of the Super Cup for the second consecutive year, succumbing to a 2-1 defeat against Al-Hilal on Monday.

Despite Ronaldo's desire to continue his recent impressive form, he encountered formidable opposition from the Saudi League leaders, who effectively neutralized him.

Though he attempted to make an impact, his efforts were thwarted. His closest opportunity in the first half was deflected off Yassine Bounou, resulting in a corner kick.

As tensions rose during the game, Cristiano's frustration escalated when a VAR decision disallowed Otavio's goal just before halftime. His vehement protests earned him a yellow card, according to GOAL.

In the closing stages of the match, with Al-Hilal leading by two goals, Ronaldo found himself in a contentious moment. Attempting to expedite play, he clashed with Ali Al Bulayhi, resulting in what appeared to be an elbow to his opponent.

This act of aggression resulted in CR7's receiving a red card, marking his 12th career dismissal. Notably, it wasn't the first time he had engaged in unsportsmanlike behaviour.

In April 2023, Khaleej Times reported that Ronaldo was involved in a similar incident against the same opposition.

This time it was Gustavo Cuellar who felt the full brunt of the Portuguese's anger during a Saudi League match, resulting in a WWE-style altercation.
