Cristiano Ronaldo endures more disappointment in first game since Portugal punishment

  • Cristiano Ronaldo returned to action for Al-Nassr on Tuesday in his first game since being punished by the Portuguese FA for walking out on the squad earlier this month.
  • Ronaldo left the national team squad during the recent international break following a falling out with manager Jorge Jesus.
  • On Monday, it was announced that he had been suspended for 30 days and fined £215 for his behaviour.
  • Ronaldo did not have the dream return he would have been hoping for on Tuesday as he missed a penalty in Al-Nassr’s match against Neom.
  • However, former Chelsea star Joao Felix spared his blushes by scoring the only goal of the game as Al-Nassr secured a 1-0 victory.
