Al Nassr FC

Al-Ain

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was in AFC Champions League action on Monday. The Portuguese forward endured an evening to forget, as he drew a blank in a 1-0 defeat. Al-Nassr also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-aymeric-laporte-red-afc-champions-league-first-leg-defeat-al-ain-quarter-finals/blt3e314b71d75c6351" target="_blank">ended the game with 10 men after seeing former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte sent off</a> in stoppage-time.

WATCH THE CLIP

Ronaldo was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-more-lionel-messi-taunt-return-from-suspension/blt4d7b50be5de483bf" target="_blank">subjected to more Lionel Messi taunts</a> from the stands, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-banned-fined-vulgar-response-lionel-messi-taunts-al-nassr-suspension/blt0edd4384c01dddc9" target="_blank">served a one-match ban for his previous reaction</a> to those jibes, but did not take the bait on this occasion until after the final whistle. As he made his way off the field in a Riyadh Cup clash with Al-Hilal in February, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-cristiano-ronaldo-outrage-rubbing-al-hilal-scarf-crotch-targeted-lionel-messi-chants-al-nassr-riyadh-cup-defeat/blt0ffae33784095860" target="_blank">Ronaldo rubbed a scarf on his crotch before throwing it back towards the crowd</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

On this occasion, as he headed down the tunnel, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/is-cristiano-ronaldo-annoying-not-winning-alex-telles-answers-cr7-question-portuguese-superstar-man-utd-al-nassr/blt950ab066cdfaf3ac" target="_blank">Ronaldo was close enough to those aiming abuse in his direction</a> that he could fire back with a “see you in Riyadh” message. He had a smile on his face, but was still helped towards the dressing room before things got out of hand.

WHAT RONALDO SAID

Al-Nassr will play host to Al Ain in the return leg of their continental quarter-final clash on March 11. They will be hoping to see Ronaldo make more of an impact in that fixture, as the evergreen 39-year-old has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-goal-message-rivals-portugal-al-nassr-superstar-1000/bltf77588a501ef4789" target="_blank">34 goals to his name this season in all competitions</a>.
