Al-Nassr has not been a great beginning for Cristiano Ronaldo. Due to his two-match suspension, Ronaldo missed Al-Nassr's recent two games. However, last week was the famous Portuguese player's first start for Al-Nassr.
It is safe to assume that Ronaldo's performance had been below expectations, which infuriated the Al-Nassr supporters.
In last week's 1-0 victory over Ettifaq, Ronaldo made his official Al-Nassr debut. The game's only goal was scored by Brazilian midfielder Anderson Talisca.
Ronaldo underwhelmed the crowd who were anticipating the Portuguese's debut to be exciting. Ronaldo's most recent performance was a 1-3 loss against Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup.
Once more, Talisca ended up being All-Nassr's only goal scorer, and Ronaldo's string of underwhelming games continued. Ronaldo was unable to affect the outcome of the game, which angered the supporters.
It was anticipated that Ronaldo would give a fantastic performance in the Saudi league. However, that did not happen. Ronaldo had a difficult day since he missed the great opportunity to net his first goal for Al-Nassr.
Throughout the game, the Al-Ittihad supporters screamed the name of "Lionel Messi". While the Al-Nassr fans were seen stomping on Ronaldo's jersey with the number seven after the game.
After leaving Manchester United, Ronaldo headed to Al-Nassr, and undoubtedly did not expect such a reaction from his fans. Ronaldo confessed in his interview with Piers Morgan how he felt mistreated by his old team, Manchester United.
Rudi Garcia, the head coach of Al-Nassr, criticised Cristiano Ronaldo for the Saudi Super Cup loss against Al-Ittihad, citing Ronaldo's missed opportunity in the first half of the game which he believed was a pivotal moment in the game.
