Cristiano Ronaldo was left seething after Al Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al Fateh on Sunday, despite scoring his 20th goal of the season in the Saudi Pro League. The 39-year-old forward found the net to help his team secure the win, marking his 920th career goal.
However, the Portuguese superstar felt unjustly denied a second goal after his effort was ruled offside. Ronaldo’s frustration boiled over when he was penalized for a second attempt that appeared to cross the line. As he made his way off the pitch after the match, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner vented his anger at the officials and TV cameras, gesturing towards them with clear displeasure.
Following the game, Ronaldo expressed his frustration, shouting: “Always against me, always cancel my goals.” His emotional outburst was witnessed by fans and media alike, underscoring his disbelief over the decision.
Piers Morgan, who was in the stands watching the game, shared his own reaction to the controversial call. The Talk TV host, who had a brief interaction with Ronaldo as the player made his way down the tunnel, took to social media to show support. Morgan, visibly shocked by the decision, told Ronaldo multiple times, “You were robbed.”
Despite the setback, Ronaldo’s goal count remains impressive, but it’s clear that the forward won’t forget this particular controversy anytime soon.
