Ronaldo has vented his frustrations towards officials during Al-Nassr&#8217;s 4-2 win against Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai, with the Portuguese superstar appearing to shout at the referee telling him to &#8216;wake up&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His side came back from going 2-1 down to book their place in the group stages of the Asian Champions League, with the five-time Ballon d&#8217;Or winner failing to get on the score sheet, but did assist Marcelo Brozovic for his side&#8217;s fourth goal.<\/p>\n<p>But at times during the match, Ronaldo cut a discontent figure remonstrating with the officials after his side had multiple penalty shouts turned down by the officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 38-year-old was subsequently seen yelling towards the referee, and appeared to be saying &#8216;wake up&#8217;, while waving his arms before strutting away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was then pictured in a separate video pushing a man who tried to take a selfie with the former Real Madrid and Man United star out of his way as he strutted off the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

competitions for the Saudi side since he arrived in January last year, it&#8217;s been a difficult start to life in the Middle East for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His side narrowly missed out on winning the Saudi Pro League last season, with their rivals Al-ittihad going on to over-take them to clinch the title.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo was left distraught\u00a0as his first season ended without a trophy and not
