Ronaldo throws strop after Messi chants and fans think they know what he shouted

The Portuguese star was seen reacting angrily to supporters during Al-Nassr's 2-0 defeat to Al Hilal.

The two front-runners for this season's Saudi Pro League title met in a friendly on Thursday night ahead in preparation for the return of league action after a mid-season break.

Footage from the match showed a stroppy Ronaldo gesturing to the crowd who taunted him with chants of his famous rival's name.

Ronaldo is seen firing back at fans, appearing to say "I am here, not Messi," whilst pointing to the ground.

The outburst seemed to knock the forward off his stride as he was later booked for kicking the ball into the stands after Al-Hilal were awarded a contentious free-kick.
