Al-Ittihad Fans Taunt Cristiano Ronaldo With Lionel Messi Chants

Cristiano Ronaldo was taunted with chants for Lionel Messi by opposition fans in Saudi Arabia during Al-Nassr’s Super Cup semi-final defeat to Al-Ittihad.

Infoexpert24 reports that Ronaldo failed to score his first goal for the Saudi side again, after also blanking on his official debut on the weekend.

Ronaldo was a peripheral figure in Al-Nassr’s defeat and footage has emerged of the Al-Ittihad fans chanting: ‘Messi, Messi, Messi’.

The former Manchester United star almost opened his account for Al-Nassr with a powerful close-range header but he was denied by a smart save.

Ronaldo has managed just one shot on target across both appearances for Al-Nassr.

Upon arriving to the King Fahd International Stadium for a Saudi Super Cup clash against Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr‘s new forward received a rather surprising reaction from the home crowd. Ronaldo, who has been treated like a king since making the big-money move to the Middle East, was greeted by chants for his rival Messi.
