Cristiano Ronaldo shows off leadership skills in face of Al-Nassr frustrations

Cristiano Ronaldo has shown off his leadership qualities after Al-Nassr advanced to the semi-finals of the King Cup.

The former Manchester United player once again stole the headlines with his theatrics rather than his goalscoring feats during the 3-1 win over Abha. Ronaldo received a yellow card soon after half-time for a show of dissent which included picking up and kicking the match ball high in the air in frustration.

Al-Nassr were 2-0 up at the time, having taken the lead ten seconds into the match, but the Portugal international was not on the scoresheet. Ronaldo did not find the back of the net in the second half either, meaning the centre-forward has now gone straight matches without scoring for the first time since arriving in Saudi Arabia.
