Cristiano Ronaldo was heckled by a young fan who shouted ‘Lionel Messi is better’ at him.
Ronaldo was lining-up for Al Nassr on Friday night and they endured a tough first half against Al Batin as they went 1-0 down early on.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was walking down the tunnel at half-time when the youngster could be heard shouting.
As the 38-year-old made his way to the dressing room shouts of ‘Lionel Messi is better’ were clearly audible.
Ronaldo appears to not rise to the bait and continues to walk off.
He instead could be heard expressing his frustrations at how the game was going, particularly as Al Nassr were the favourites.
The superstar is reported to have shouted, in Portuguese: ‘Easy game, f*** easy game.”
Whatever was said in the dressing room at half-time did not have an effect until the very end of the game.
Abdulrahman Ghareeb, Mohammed Al-Fatil and Mohammed Maran all scored in added time to see Al Nassr come from behind to win 3-1.
There were no goal involvements for Ronaldo, however, after his recent brilliant form for the Saudi club.
He picked up the February player-of-the-month award after scoring eight times in just four games.
