What seemed to have a good color for Cristiano Ronaldoended up being a nightmare: Al-Nassr was winning 1-0 with a goal of his own in the final of the Saudi Super Cup, but Al-Hilal turned it around 4-1 with four goals in just 18 minutes.

The happiness and the clenched fist held high for the 1-0 in favor when the 44th minute of the first half was running was forgotten after the 10th minute of the second half, when the Serbian Sergej Milinkovic-Savic tied and his compatriot Aleksandar Mitrovic scored a brace to tip the balance in favour of the mighty Al-Hilal.

First, Cristiano put his hands together and placed them beside his face, tilting his head, as a sign that his teammates were asleep. Then he went further: facing them after the third goal, CR7 made signs indicating that he was afraid of his rival.

The third and fourth goals conceded by his team were unusual: Al-Nassr’s defence completely ignored Mitrovic’s cross and Ronaldo watched from afar as his rivals advanced further up the field and into the area.

Ronaldo’s nightmare was not over yet. Towards the end of the match, Al-Hilal fans, already raving about victory and the title, brought out their rivalry with Argentine Lionel Messi, cheering him on. “Messi, Messi, Messi!”, It was the provocation of the public present towards the Portuguese, who turned a deaf ear and decided not to respond.

An image of Cristiano Ronaldo touching the Saudi Super Cup as the teams took to the field went viral on social media. For the most superstitious football fans, this is a gesture that can bring bad luck.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not been able to lift a title with Al Nassr since his arrival, once again lost another final against their worst tormentor, Neymar’s Al-Hilal.
