Ronaldo got angry with the Chinese referee

On the morning of February 22, Ronaldo scored in Al Nassr’s 2-0 victory over Al Feiha, thereby winning a ticket to the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League.
Minute 45+1, referee Ma Ning blew the whistle and decisively issued a yellow card to Cristiano Ronaldo after fouling a player on Al Feiha’s side near the touchline.

Ronaldo clearly expressed his dissatisfaction. The 39-year-old striker became angry and shouted loudly at the Chinese referee.

Even coach Luis Castro left the technical area to run to defend his favorite student, only to receive the same punishment.

Previously, Mr. Ma Ning made a controversial decision when he refused to give Ronaldo a penalty in a situation where he was pushed down by two opposing players in the penalty area.

Ronaldo played hard and just lacked a little luck. In the first half, he was denied a goal after an impressive header. Not long after, CR7 ran and shot diagonally past the goalkeeper. He did not celebrate when he saw the linesman raise the flag for offside.

After Ronaldo shined in the first leg, it was his compatriot Otavio’s turn to score the opening goal for the capital team, Riyadh.

In the 86th minute, Ronaldo took advantage of the away team’s goalkeeper’s mistake to score 2-0. In the end, Al Nassr won 3-0 after 2 matches in the round of 16. As for Ronaldo, he scored his 33rd goal after 34 appearances this season.

Al Nassr’s next opponent will be Al Ain, a club from the UAE. The AFC Champions League is Al Nassr’s main goal this season; in the Saudi Pro League, they are 7 points behind Al Hilal. Ronaldo and his teammates also lost to opponents from the same city in both matches.
