Cristiano Ronaldo suffered another blow at Al Nassr when his home team crashed out of the King’s Cup after being beaten by 10-man Al Wehda in the semi-final.

However, cameras caught Ronaldo looking visibly upset and reacting furiously towards his own bench as he let his frustrations boil at half-time while his team was 1-0 down.

The forward was also visibly frustrated at the full-time whistle, making a swift exit from the pitch.

Ronaldo, 38, scored 11 goals in his first 13 matches for Al-Nassr but failed to find the back of the net as Al-Wehda held on to win the match 1-0.

Wehda forward Jean-David Beauguel scored a stunning bicycle kick to knock Ronaldo and Al-Nassr out of Kings Cup.

This is not the first time Ronaldo has reacted in such a way.

Last month Ronaldo stormed off down the tunnel kicking water bottles out of his way after his Al-Nassr team lost 1-0 at Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro league.

The loss in the King Cup of Champions will be a big setback for Ronaldo, who had claimed that his move to the middle east was only after he had won everything in Europe

“I am fortunate that I have won everything I set out to win in European football,” he had said before adding, “I feel now that this is the right moment to share my experience in Asia.”
