Cristiano Ronaldo was not in a good mood after Al Nassr lost 1-0 at Saudi Pro League title rivals Al-Ittihad on Thursday.

The 38-year-old had been kept quiet by the best defense in the league for 90 minutes.

After applauding the Al Nassr fans that had travelled to the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, Ronaldo stormed off the pitch in a huff.

He was clearly very disappointed about the result, which had seen Al-Ittihad replace Al Nassr as league leaders.

But Ronaldo was upset further as thousands of fans began to taunt him as he left the field by chanting the name of his long-time rival, Lionel Messi.

The former Real Madrid forward snapped and angrily kicked a water bottle next to the dugout.

This act of petulance prompted even more taunts.

Ronaldo regained his composure later on Thursday and posted a message to Al Nassr's fans via social media.

It read: "Disappointed with the result, but we stay focused on our season and the games ahead.

"Thank you Al Nassr fans for your support, we know we can count on you!"
