Ronaldo had a delightful response to Lionel Messi chants during Al-Nass's clash against Al-Taawoun. He has been met with Messi chants many times in Saudi Arabia.

The final whistle painted a stark picture of Ronaldo's emotions. A video circulating on social media shows the 39-year-old standing on the pitch, visibly disheartened, gazing into the crowd. With shoulders slumped, he slowly walked off, a clear reflection of his frustration over his team’s inability to close the gap on their title rivals.

Cristiano Ronaldo was once again jeered by opposition fans, who also chanted his arch-rival Lionel Messi’s name.
