Al-Nassr was knocked out of the King Cup of Champions in another big fail for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker was not happy at all with his own team, and he even yelled to his coach during the loss against Al-Wehda.

Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia last year in a blockbuster move for Al-Nassr. He was meant to change the team for the better and lead them to success, based on his achievements throughout his career. However, he has fallen short of expectations.

Since his arrival, Al-Nassr has struggled to compete. The team has been knocked out from three different competitions, with the King Cup of Champions being the most recent.

During the Semifinals of the King Cup of Champions, Al-Nassr lost at home against Al-Wehda. The visitors scored at the 23th minute through Jean-David Beauguel, the only goal of the game.
