Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to make an obscene gesture towards Al-Hilal supporters after they chanted Lionel Messi’s name at former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward.

Ronaldo had a game to forget on Tuesday evening as Al-Nassr suffered a 2-0 defeat to Al-Hilal, which has left them three points off top spot in the Saudi Pro League, while leaders Al-Ittihad also have a game in hand.

As he made his way off the pitch, Ronaldo was greeted by huge jeers and chants of, ‘Messi, Messi’ from the Al-Hilal fans.

But instead of ignoring the chants, the 38-year-old grabbed and shook genitals whilst walking towards the tunnel.

Ronaldo, who had a goal disallowed during the game, could now face disciplinary action for his gesture towards Al-Hilal’s supporters.

During the defeat to Al-Hilal, Ronaldo was also booked by Premier League referee Michael Oliver for grabbing Gustavo Cuellar in a headlock.
