Cristiano Ronaldo showed an unexpected side of himself after Al-Nassr's 2-0 defeat by Al-Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup. Frustrated by the loss, a fan threw an Al-Hilal shirt at Ronaldo, captured in footage on X. The Portuguese star picked up the shirt, rubbed it against his crotch, and threw it back into the crowd, leaving fans puzzled.
The incident happened as Ronaldo walked down the tunnel at the Kingdom Arena. It seemed he was the target of rival team shirts, possibly an attempt to provoke the football icon. Al-Nassr's defeat came after goals by Salem Al-Dawsari and Sergei-Milinkovic Savic in the first half.
Adding an unexpected twist to the night, WWE legend The Undertaker made a surprise appearance, presenting the Riyadh Season Cup trophy. Footage showed Ronaldo laughing with teammates during the WWE icon's unexpected moment.
Earlier in the week, Ronaldo thanked fans for birthday wishes as he turned 39. Despite the recent defeat and the unusual incident, Ronaldo demonstrated his commitment by returning to training after recovering from a calf injury on Monday. The incident adds a unique chapter to Ronaldo's career, sparking curiosity about the emotions behind this unexpected reaction.
