Ronaldo storms off pitch has become a trending topic after Al-Nassr suffered a 1-0 defeat to Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.

A goal from Romarinho in the 80th minute saw Cristiano Ronaldo lose his first league game since joining Al-Nassr in December, and it also saw the 38-year-old’s side slip to second in the Saudi Pro League.

Understandably, the Portugal international was far from happy after the loss, while chants from the Al-Ittihad supporters also enraged the Al-Nassr No.7 enough for him to storm off the pitch.

Well, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner wasted no time in getting off the pitch after the final whistle on Thursday night.

Ronaldo headed straight down the tunnel – kicking water bottles along his way – as the name of his great rival Lionel Messi was chanted at him by the opposition fans.

As we have known for many years, the Portuguese sensation does not enjoy losing – to say the least.

Thursday’s 1-0 defeat represented the second Saudi Pro League outing without a goal for Ronaldo, as he also failed to score in Friday’s 3-1 win over Al-Batin.

How many goals has Ronaldo scored?

Since joining Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has impressively scored eight goals in eight appearances.

Ronaldo has also provided two assists in those eight outings.

Interestingly, the Al-Nassr No.7 has actually failed to score in five of those games.

Four of his eight goals came in one game as Al-Nassr thrashed Al-Wehda 4-0 on Thursday 9th February.

Ronaldo then scored a hat-trick in the 3-0 win against Damac on Saturday 25th February.
