WHAT HAPPENED? The Saudi Pro League side took on Shabab Al-Ahli in an AFC Champions League play-off on Tuesday - and Ronaldo was not a happy man by half-time. He saw three separate penalty shouts turned down before the break, being brought down in the area twice before seeing his volley blocked by the hand of an Al-Ahli defender. Ronaldo remonstrated with the officials at length and could be heard shouting: "wake up!". He also pushed away a man who appeared to trying to take a selfie with him on the touchline.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ronaldo endured a similarly frustrating night in Al-Nassr's last match, struggling to find his groove as his team fell to a shock Saudi Pro League defeat to Al-Taawoun. That result made in two defeats in two to start the season, with Luis Castro's side also losing to Al-Ettifaq in their opening game - which their talisman missed through injury.
WHAT NEXT? Thankfully for Ronaldo, he and his side put first-half frustrations behind them, going on to record a 4-2 victory over their Emirati opponents.
