Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly the most unpopular soccer player in the Saudi Pro League. Loved by his team but hated by the rest of the league, and the fans of opposing teams are letting CR7 know it.

Fans from many of the teams in the Saudi Pro League receive the Portuguese superstar with chants of “Messi, Messi” and the chants have gotten under the skin of the former Real Madrid star.

Cristiano Ronaldo has since made various obscene gestures to opposing fans from grabbing his crotch, to rubbing a scarf down his shorts, and lastly making fist pump gestures. The end result could finally be a fine and suspension according to Saudi media.
