Cristiano Ronaldo makes obscene gesture towards crowd after 'Messi' taunts

Cristiano Ronaldo faced a flurry of criticism after appearing to make an obscene gesture at the end of Al-Nassr’s 3-2 win over Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League.

The Portugal forward opened the scoring with a 21st-minute penalty but Al-Nassr needed a late goal from Talisca, who struck twice, to settle the game with four minutes left.

After the final whistle, chants of 'Messi' could be heard in the stadium, referencing Ronaldo’s long-term football rival, and social media videos captured Ronaldo cupping his ear before repeatedly pumping his hand forward in front of his pelvic area. The action appeared to be directed at Al-Shabab supporters.

Messi’s Adidas ad on this video is too perfect

[jinlee]

This is why Messi is the best. Shameless behaviour from a world-class athlete.

[accountuser]

A 39 year old man shouldn't be behaving like this 😂. If this happened to Messi, he wouldn't care

[youngerudit]

I don’t like this man at all but this has officially become my favorite celebration, I can’t. Like it’s so hilarious it won’t leave my head. Bro is really creative with it

[pattiniamo]

Messi did a complaining gesture to Van Gall at the World cup as a revenge for Riquelme being mistreated by Van Gall 20 years ago at Barcelona.
Lionel would not care if somedonkeys chant Ronaldo

[studyfun]

[khusimangurung]

Messi Is a lifelong nighmare for this guy 😂, what's his name

[jogoegel]

It's so hard to respect him when he acts like this😅

You can see even the character difference between him and Messi , feels uncomfortable but Messi coped better when he was booed at PSG

[JosePerez-viwk]

Éste mocoso a de tener pesadillas con su padre Messi 😂😂

[Codmonsta]

“Those who want respect….give respect.”
Also doesn’t anyone know his career started in England? There’s nowhere else on earth where it’s a bigger part of the sport to have YOUR say back at those chanting fans!

[kikioperatians]

CR7 getting mad AF, while Messi stays humble in these situations. So this is Cr7 top form huh, teaching his under age fans inappropriate gestures?🙄😏🤣

Bro really has beef with SAUDI ARABIAN fans 💀

[LThomas]

Messi living rent free in Ronaldo's head without even saying anything is hilarious

[anzalkhan]

He knows he'll never be better than Messi

[zanggu]

Haha Ronaldo still didn’t realize Messi is way much better than him, , , what a shame that he still acts like that even though his 38 years old😂 keep going Ronaldo!
