Fans tear into ‘finished fraud’ Ronaldo as Al-Nassr move goes from bad to worse
Fans have ripped into "finished fraud" Cristiano Ronaldo as his Al-Nassr move went from bad to worse on Thursday night.
Ronaldo made his second start for the club against Al-Ittihad in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup, having joined Al-Nassr on a free transfer at the start of this month. However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was unable to prevent his new side from crashing out of the competition as they fell to a 3-1 defeat in Riyadh.
Fans were soon to take to social media to mock Ronaldo for his lack of success since arriving in Saudi Arabia.

One tweeted: "Ronaldo influence. Al-Nassr is being cooked by a mid-table club in Saudi Arabia." Another wrote: "Ronaldo's holding Al-Nassr back. They need a new striker."
A third fan added: "Let's laugh at Ronaldo." Meanwhile, one more commented: "Ronaldo has been awful I'm not going to lie."
The ridicule continued, as another said: "Ronaldo is not even good enough for the Saudi Pro League and he had the nerve to question Erik ten Hag for not starting him every game in the Premier League. Sold his soul and legacy for money. Finished player and fanbase."

That sentiment was echoed, with one fan adding: "They terminated Aboubakar's contract for this finished fraud." Another joked: "Cristiano Ronaldo can't reach the level of the strong competitive Saudi league."
The result was not the only negative for Ronaldo, either, as he was mocked with rival Lionel Messi's celebration during the Super Cup defeat.
Goals from Romarinho, Abderrazak Hamdallah and Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti proved the difference for Al-Ittihad, despite a second half consolation goal from Talisca. Al-Ittihad will now face Al-Fayha in Sunday's final.
Ronaldo had made his long-awaited debut for Al-Nassr on Sunday, captaining the side as they beat Ettifaq 1-0 at home in the Saudi Pro League to maintain their status as league leaders, one point ahead of Al-Hilal.
His move to Al-Nassr was confirmed at the start of January as his wait for a new club came to an end following his controversial departure from Manchester United back in November.
