The behavior of Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo with a member of the technical staff of the Gulf team sparked a wide controversy on social media.

On Monday, Al-Nasr fell into the trap of a positive 1-1 draw against its guest Al-Khaleej, in the 26th round of the Saudi league.

Al-Alami was satisfied with one point, reaching 57 points, to move away from Ittihad Jeddah, the Saudi league leader, by 5 points, 4 games before the end of the season.

After the match, a video went viral showing the Portuguese star in the middle of a number of Gulf players and coaching staff who wanted to shake his hand, apparently trying to get his shirt.

According to the video, one of the players managed to get the shirt, but Cristiano was upset with a member of the Gulf technical staff who tried to take a selfie with him.

The man approached Ronaldo, and the Don pushed him away from him, and his features showed signs of anger and distress.

This minimizes the reputation of the league, each player adjusts himself.
