The victory in Riyadh in the Saudi League was also a crucial match, but the team also seemed to have given up on the idea of competing for the title this season. The attitude shown in the game was not so positive.
In the 43rd minute, Nyacatet scored the first goal of the game with a push on a quick counterattack. Riyadh's victory after the goal was also regretted, because the goal was really caused by their own mistakes. Before this goal, Cristiano Ronaldo and Riyadh Shengli had a pass in the opponent's penalty area that was suspected to have hit the opposing player. The pass did look very much like a handball, but the referee did not choose to award a penalty or make any penalty for the act.
Because they believe that this ball is not an intentional handball, it can only be said that the opposing player was careless. This penalty also made Ronaldo directly angry, constantly reprimanding the referee, saying that this ball should give a penalty. The teammates next to Ronaldo are obviously worried that Ronaldo's excesses will receive yellow cards, constantly persuading Ronaldo to forget it, and are explaining to the referee. But just when the team was distracted, the opponent scored the quick counter-attack goal above.
It can be said that Ronaldo did not complain about the referee once or twice in the Saudi league, and then the referee ignored it, which really made him a little embarrassed. As a top superstar in European football, he reached out for penalties many times after coming to the Saudi League, but the referee chose to ignore it, obviously not ready to give him face.
And Ronaldo's performance in this game is indeed very average, after the team drew 1-1 and saw that there was no hope of winning the championship. Cristiano Ronaldo was also humiliated in the 81st minute of the game. The replaced Ronaldo is obviously very unhappy, and he has not won the championship for 2 consecutive years. This situation makes Ronaldo, who has always been eager to win, difficult to accept this matter.
