Al Nassr lost the Saudi Super Cup to Al Hilal but Cristiano Ronaldo had a go at his team-mates over their display.

Cristiano Ronaldo's frustration was on full display during Al-Nassr’s stunning collapse in the Saudi Super Cup final against Al-Hilal.

Despite giving his team a first-half lead, Ronaldo's anger boiled over as Al-Nassr fell apart in the second half, ultimately losing 4-1.

Ronaldo opened the scoring for Al-Nassr with a scrappy goal, but the second half saw a dramatic turnaround.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic equalized for Al-Hilal, followed by a brace from Aleksandar Mitrovic and a final goal from Malcom.

The Brazilian’s goal was particularly galling for Ronaldo, as it came after a crucial mistake by Al-Nassr’s goalkeeper.

The Portuguese star’s frustration reached a peak in the center circle, where he made a theatrical and lewd gesture toward his teammates.

The gesture, widely interpreted as a sign of intense anger, added a dramatic flair to an already humiliating defeat.

Ronaldo’s visible rage underscored his disappointment with the team's inability to hold their lead and the subsequent errors that led to the collapse.

This defeat adds to a growing list of setbacks for Al-Nassr against their Riyadh rivals. Last season, the club was beaten to two trophies by Al-Hilal, finishing second in both the Saudi Pro League and the King Cup.

The Super Cup loss marks another setback and highlights the ongoing rivalry between the two teams.

Al-Nassr will need to quickly regroup and address their issues as they prepare for their Saudi Pro League opener against Al-Raed.

The team, along with Ronaldo, will aim to shake off this setback and focus on starting the league campaign on a positive note.
