Cristiano Ronaldo Taunted by Al Hilal Fans Chanting Messi’s Nаme, Responds with a Smile
During a match between Al Nassr and Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal fans taunted Cristiano Ronaldo by chanting Lionel Messi’s nаme after their team’s 3-0 victory over Al Nassr. This prompted a lighthearted reaction from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
In response to the jeering, Ronaldo blew kisses towards the crowd and smiled as he walked off the pitch. While it wasn’t Ronaldo’s best performance in an Al Nassr shirt, as he had a goal disallowed for a narrow offside and claimed to have been fouled in the build-up to one of Al Hilal’s goals, he maintained his composure.
During the match, Ronaldo also faced a cоnfrоntatiоn with Al Hilal defender Ali Al-Bulayhi, but he coolly put his hand to his ear, gesturing that he couldn’t hear the taunts.
Leading up to this match, Ronaldo had been in excellent form, scoring 15 goals in Al Nassr’s previous 14 league games, making him the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League.
Al Nassr coach Luis Castro praised Ronaldo’s character, stating that he is an example of discipline, ambition, and hard work. He emphasized that Ronaldo’s dedication sets him apart and that if others want to achieve similar success, they must be willing to give their all.
Despite the taunts from the Al Hilal fans, Ronaldo remained composed and focused, showcasing his professionalism and resilience in the face of adversity.
