Cristiano Ronaldo involved in half-time spat as Al-Nassr claim comeback win

Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed his first win of the season with Al-Nassr as they beat Shabab Al-Ahli 4-2 in the AFC Champions League qualifier on Tuesday - but it wasn't exactly plain sailing for the former Manchester United striker.

They went into half-time level at 1-1 against their opponents from the United Arab Emirates, with Ronaldo spotted leaving the pitch far from happy. The 38-year-old was seen pointing to his head and shouting 'wake up!' towards officials after they failed to award a penalty to his side. He would have been even more fuming when Yahya Al-Ghassani got his second goal of the night to send Shalab Al-Ahli 2-1 up inside the first minute of the second half. Al-Nassr spent the remainder of the half pushing for an equaliser, eventually finding it in the 88th minute.

Al-Nassr have now qualified for the group stage of the continental competition, with Ronaldo handed another chance at Champions League glory after winning the European version multiple times with Real Madrid and once with United.Follow the MEN's United coverage on TikTok and YouTube, and subscribe to the Manchester is Red podcast
