Cristiano Ronaldo's opponents troll ex-Manchester United man after angry confrontation

Saudi Pro League side Al Feiha have trolled former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo after he was involved in an angry confrontation following Al Nassr's goalless draw.

Following a game which saw Al Nassr dominate possession but fail to test home goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic on a regular basis, tempers flared between the two sets of players. Ronaldo was caught on camera dismissing Al Feiha's Ali Al-Zaqaan, claiming his side 'didn't want to play [football].'

As the Portuguese great stormed off the field and down the tunnel, his teammates appeared to clash with the Al Feiha players as supporters jeered from the stands. Following the match, the home side decided to take to Twitter to troll Ronaldo.

In a tweet reacting to the result, Al Feiha posted a photoshopped image of Ronaldo and their captain Sami Al-Khaybari playing chess with the caption: "Checkmate." The original image was created by Louis Vuitton and saw the ex-United man and Lionel Messi contemplating their next move in a game of chess.

Ronaldo's frustration at dropping points to Al Feiha will have only been compounded after discovering his team had lost ground in the Saudi Pro League title race. Leaders Al Ittihad beat Al Wehda 2-1 on Sunday to move three points clear of Al Nassr.

The 38-year-old will next be in action on Tuesday, April 18 when Al Nassr face fourth placed Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.
