Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted subtly shoving a fan away at the end of Al-Nassr's game against Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League on April 27.

The match, held at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, was won by Al-Nassr courtesy of an Aymeric Laporte goal in the 68th minute.

The former Manchester City defender scored the only goal of the game after he headed in a free-kick.

Ronaldo endured a frustrating night in front of goal. He had multiple chances to score, including hitting the woodwork in the 9th minute of the contest. Five minutes later, he went round the keeper and hit the back of the next, but the goal was disallowed for offside. The Portuguese icon was then thwarted twice by an inspired Ibrahim Sehic in the Al Khaleej goal from point-blank range.

More chances would come in the second half, but the 39-year-old could not hit the target.

Ronaldo blanks fan after game

After the game, a member of staff was spotted approaching the former Real Madrid striker for a selfie request, but he was subtly shoved away as Ronaldo walked past him.

The incident drew mixed reactions from fans, with @CRGIF7 saying,

"Why do they always pick the worst times? He's not a robot; let him be."

While @Fabi_fcbayern said:

"He was not happy today."

The win took Al-Nassr to 71 points, nine behind Al-Hilal who have played a game less.

Messi protects pitch invader from stewards

In a previous report, Sports Brief reported how Lionel Messi was praised for protecting a girl from stewards.

The young girl has invaded the pitch in an attempt to get a selfie with the Inter Miami captain.

Messi granted his request before swinging her by his side to take her away from the fast-approaching stewards.
