WHAT HAPPENED? Al-Nassr's 3-1 victory over Abha in the quarter-finals of the King Cup of Champions was marred by Ronaldo's loss of temper going viral as the referee blew for half-time. The 38-year-old booted away the ball in frustration after being denied the chance to continue a counter-attack and was booked for his petulance. Airline company Ryanair responded rather hilariously to footage of Ronaldo's tantrum.
