Al-Hilal mock Ronaldo, Al Nassr after 2-1 defeat
Al-Hilal has mocked Cristiano Ronaldo and his club Al-Nassr following their 2-1 win in the Saudi Super Cup semi-finals on Monday.
The Saudi Pro League leaders beat their bitter rivals and cruised to a dominant win at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium.
Al Nassr’s Otavio found the back of the net just before half-time, however, the goal was ruled out after VAR deemed Ronaldo to be offside.
Al-Hilal had a strong second-half performance, taking the lead via Salem Aldawsari in the 61st minute before Malcom made it 2-0 in the72nd minute.

Sadio Mane scored a late (89′) consolation goal for Al Nassr.
Ronaldo shockingly lost his cool in the 86th minute and was given a straight red card for elbowing an opposition player.
The 39-year-old didn’t take the sending-off too well, as he walked off the pitch with his thumbs up and a sarcastic shake of the head.
Al-Hilal took to Instagram to troll Ronaldo and company by posting:
“We know.. They know.. Their moaning is eternal. It’s just that the whole world knows.”
