In the Saudi Super Cup final, Al Hilal thrashed Al Nassr 4-1 to lift the trophy. After the match, Cristiano Ronaldo left immediately and did not participate in the award ceremony, causing a huge controversy.
Al Hilal legend and former captain, Deyer, spoke about Ronaldo’s behavior in an interview: “The team is more important than any player, even if you have won five Ballon d’Ors. I think Ronaldo’s actions were disrespectful to the club.”
“The captain, whether winning or losing, should be an example for his teammates. Why does Ronaldo only want to step up when he wins? Once I lost the final to Jeddah United, despite having an injury, I insisted on being the first to walk up to the podium. Ronaldo wasn’t injured, I don’t think he can be above Saudi football.”
“Ronaldo’s actions were clearly wrong, he didn’t respect the competition sponsors or the Saudi Football Federation. Why didn’t Al Nassr coach Castro call Ronaldo back to collect his medal? Now Ronaldo wants to do whatever he wants, we can’t condone this behavior.”
