Cristiano Ronaldo had returned from a short injury, which was a source of great excitement for many fans. The forward’s injury caused Al-Nassr to cancel their China tour, leading to an apology from the man himself. He also missed the highly anticipated clash against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, which his side won 6-0 without him.
But his return to the pitch ahead of the Riyadh Season Cup final against Al-Hilal was a source of great joy for fans. Unfortunately, Ronaldo and his team slumped to a 2-0 defeat and lost a chance to win a trophy. And it seems the superstar cannot shake it off soon.
Cristiano Ronaldo trains alone after Riyadh Cup final defeat
The defeat against Al-Hilal seems to be negatively affecting Cristiano Ronaldo, who is committed to winning everything. This has made the Portuguese forward even do training alone, with viral clips of him doing so making the rounds on social media.
With the AFC Champions League clash against Al-Feiha coming up, the Al-Nassr squad is working hard in training. But Ronaldo is seen on the opposite side of his teammates, participating in training together. Furthermore, he was not looking happy at all, with the loss in the final surely still on his mind.

There is no official reason or any reason for Ronaldo to be doing this, and perhaps he is doing this to personally augment himself without any distractions. Another reason could be that he is not being counted for the next game against Al-Feiha by manager Luis Castro. This may be due to Ronaldo’s recent injury, and he may not want to injure his star player in a comparatively easy game. But it is still surprising to see the captain not lead his men in training.
Ronaldo’s immodest gesture at Riyadh Season Cup final
Cristiano Ronaldo was definitely not happy after the defeat to rival Al-Hilal, as he was seen throwing away his silver medal to the crowd. But he also did something shocking, a horrid action far dwarfing his previous actions in the sport. Ronaldo has been no stranger to clashing with fans, but his latest stunt has created quite a stir among fans. A recent video of the player walking down the tunnel has gone viral on social media.

While he was walking down the field after the frustrating loss, some Al Hilal fans threw their club’s jersey towards the Portuguese legend. However, his response was unexpected, as he took his rival team’s shirt and appeared to be rubbing it in his crotch before throwing it back to the fan. This immodest gesture has been criticized by fans of Man, as it has been the most shocking action from him towards fans in his career.
Cristiano Ronaldo will now prepare for his side’s next game in the AFC Champions League, where they take on Al Feiha in the Round of 16.
