Cristiano Ronaldo entered the news for the wrong reasons again after the Portuguese star was booked for throwing tantrums in their Saudi Arabian King’s Cup game against Abha.
His Al Nassr side won the game 3-1, but Ronaldo was not on the score sheet for either of the goals.
Just before halftime, the former Manchester United man led a counterattack for his side and seemed confident they would score.
However, the referee blew the whistle for halftime as Ronaldo broke free and it infuriated the attacker, who smashed the ball into the air, and he received a booking.
Ronaldo was visibly angry with the decision to halt play then and was duly punished for throwing tantrums.

The former Manchester United man has had a good time in the Middle East, scoring eight goals in seven matches for them.
However, the Real Madrid legend is without a goal in any of his last three matches and definitely isn’t such a happy man, considering how much he loves to find the back of the net.
Al Nassr’s next game would be against the same opponent in the Saudi Pro League, and the fixture gives him a chance to end his goal drought.
