In the disgusting clip from Saturday night's Arab Club Champions Cup final, Ronaldo is seen slipping his left hand under his shirt, rubbing his lower back and then wiping the face of Al-Hilal defender Ali Albulayhi. Ronaldo, 38, netted twice to guide Al-Nassr to a 2-1 victory after extra time despite being reduced to nine men in the second-half. It was his first piece of silverware with the Saudi Arabian club. But fans quickly picked up on the Portuguese star's rather unusual and unsavoury tactic when being man-marked. Albulayhi wasn't best pleased and appears to warn Ronaldo not to do it again as they tussle at the set-piece.

Having won the game for his side, Ronaldo was taken off the pitch on a stretcher , clutching his left thigh, and he was absent from Monday's Pro League defeat to Al-Ettifaq. Al-Hilal took the lead through Michael's 51st-minute goal at the King Fahd Stadium and Al-Nassr's task became even trickier when Abdulelah Al-Amri was sent off on 71 minutes. But Ronaldo forced extra time with an equaliser and would score a 98th-minute winner despite Nawaf Boushal also seeing red. He was missed on Monday night, however, as they slipped to an opening night defeat in the league to Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq, despite Sadio Mane's early opener. They play next against Al-Taawoun on Friday. Al-Hilal, meanwhile, are closing in on the £78million signing of Brazilian star Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain. He stands to earn £130m-a-year in wages.
