The soccer world just witnessed an epic clash between Al Nassr and Al Hilal. However, the match did not unfold according to Cristiano Ronaldo and his team’s plans. Instead, it was Aleksandar Mitrovic of Al Hilal who stole the spotlight. Not only that, Ronaldo also had to endure the unexpected taunts from Al Hilal fans, who chanted the name of his arch-rival, Lionel Messi.
The match between these Saudi rivals ended in a resounding 3-0 victory for Al Hilal, leaving Al Nassr and Ronaldo devastated. Mitrovic, with his exceptional performance, scored two goals, while CR7 had a rather quiet game in comparison.

It was following this moment that Al Hilal supporters seized the opportunity to taunt Ronaldo. They began chanting the name of his biggest rival, Lionel Messi, much to the astonishment of the onlookers.
