The fans continued to chant 'Messi! Messi!' teasing Ronaldo

Fans of UAE club Al Ain continuously chanted ‘Messi! Messi! Messi!’ when they buy tickets to watch the match against Al Nassr of famous player Cristiano Ronaldo, in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League at 11 p.m. on March 4.

Ronaldo was banned from playing one match in the Saudi Pro League (Saudi Arabia) after offensive behavior with Al Shabab club fans on February 26. Without the famous Portuguese player, Al Nassr Club experienced a draw against rival Al Hazem with a score of 4-4 in the early morning of March 1.

This is Al Nassr’s first draw after 6 previous wins, causing them to lose points and possibly widen the score gap at the top of the Saudi Pro League to rival Al Hilal.

Currently, Al Nassr lost 6 points to Al Hilal (53 vs 59) and played 1 more match. Therefore, the opportunity for Ronaldo and his teammates to win the most prestigious tournament of Saudi Arabian football in the 2023 – 2024 season seems extremely difficult.

Ronaldo and Al Nassr’s hopes will likely rest on the AFC Champions League when they enter the quarterfinals against Al Ain with the first leg on March 4 and the return leg on March 11.

Ronaldo will return to play for Al Nassr in the away match against Al Ain. However, before this match, UAE club fans soon used the name “Messi! Messi! Messi!” to tease opponents.

It was the chants of “Messi! Messi! Messi!” Recently, fans of Al Nassr’s rival clubs have made Ronaldo feel uncomfortable and constantly reacting. The climax was the incident in the match against Al Shabab Club on February 26, when the famous Portuguese player, in addition to reacting, also had offensive behavior that caused a wave of protests.

On February 29, the Saudi Pro League Disciplinary Committee had to ban Ronaldo from playing one match and fine him 2,500 euros for inciting rival fans.
