<\/p>\nCristiano Ronaldo blew kisses at rival fans chanting Lionel Messi\u2019s name as Al-Nassr suffered a 3-0 drubbing.<\/p>\n
Ronaldo\u2019s side faced Al-Hilal in a top of the table Saudi Pro League clash but were humbled after conceding three in the second half. The Portuguese legend had a goal controversially ruled out for offside by VAR – and his torrid evening was made even worse by constant trolling from Al-Hilal fans.<\/p>\n
As Ronaldo walked towards the tunnel of the King Fahd International Stadium with the score 0-0 at half time, he was met with a chorus of Messi chants. Having lost his cool when the same thing occurred in October, the 38-year-old, at least on the surface, played it down on this occasion.<\/p>\n

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward instead blew kisses to the stands while forcing a grin. And fans on social media thought Al-Hilal supporters succeeded in getting under Ronaldo\u2019s skin, with Messi putting an end to the \u2018greatest of all time\u2019 debate by recently cruising to an eighth Ballon d\u2019Or win and lifting the World Cup last year. <\/p>\n
One X user pointed out: \u201cHe\u2019s rattled,\u201d while another tweeted: \u201cHe thinks we can\u2019t see the pain behind the smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third wrote: \u201cBrother we know you're in pain,\u201d and a fourth added: \u201cHe was about to cry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others chimed in by commenting: \u201cShame it\u2019s ending this way,\u201d and: \u201cBro must be burning inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic opened the scoring with a header an hour into the affair, before his Serbia team-mate Aleksandr Mitrovic netted a brace, taking Al-Hilal seven points clear of Al-Nassr.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Al-Hilal\u2019s pro-Messi chanting came despite the Argentine turning down a \u00a31.3billion offer to join them in the summer. Instead, the 36-year-old opted to sign for MLS side Inter Miami, where he has already provided a catalogue of magical moments.<\/p>\n
