During Friday night’s Saudi Pro League match, Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo collided with Al-Hilal defender Ali Al-Bulayhi.

Ronaldo was unimpressed with Al-Bulayhi’s acting and pretended he couldn’t hear as his opponent raged at him.

Sadio Mane, a former Liverpool and Bayern Munich winger who now plays for Al-Nassr, was also seen sarcastically clapping Al-Bulayhi.

After receiving two yellow cards, Al-Bulayhi was sent off in the final stages of the game.

However, Ronaldo was left extremely disappointed as Al-Nassr were defeated 3-0 away from home by their title rivals.

Ronaldo believed that Al-Bulayhi, who was later dismissed, went down too easily after a challenge.

As a result, Al-Hilal is now seven points clear at the top of the table. 

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic put Al-Hilal ahead, and former Newcastle and Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic followed up with a brace.

At halftime, with the game still scoreless, Ronaldo sarcastically blew kisses to Al-Hilal fans who taunted him with chants of ‘Messi’.

Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will look to rebound in their next league game against Al-Riyadh at home. Prior to that, they will compete in the AFC Champions League against Maldivian side Istiklol.

So far this season, Ronaldo has scored 18 goals and provided nine assists in 20 games for Al-Nassr across all competitions. 

Ronaldo was left extremely frustrated after Al-Nassr was defeated 3-0 by the league leaders.

‘The best shot in the first half was between Ronaldo and Al-Bulayhi,’ one X user wrote.

Another person mentioned how Saudi Arabia international Al-Bulayhi squared off against Lionel Messi at the World Cup last year.

‘This guy thinks he’s him, provoking both Ronaldo and Messi,’ they wrote.

‘Al-Bulaihi continues his feuds with the big stars,’ another user wrote. Today is Ronaldo’s turn after Messi.”

Another user strongly condemned Al-Bulayhi’s actions.  They were also pleased to see Ronaldo fans get a taste of their own medicine.

‘I dislike Ronaldo, but this Al Hilal player is the worst player I have ever seen,’ they wrote. Always prоvоke and insult the opposing team. What I like best is that Ronaldo fans are getting a taste of their own medicine. They said he owned Messi after he did it to him.’

‘If there’s one thing Cristiano Ronaldo is going to do it’s own Al Bulaihi…STIFF NECK OR NOT!!’ wrote another.
