Cristiano Ronaldo was left angry at a rival team's member of staff, after they tried to grab a selfie with the Al Nassr star, who once again failed to score.
After a career of finding goals easy to come by, including scoring more than a goal a game during his record breaking spell at Real Madrid, life in Saudi Arabia was expected to be easy for Ronaldo.
He has of course been able to find the back of the net pretty regularly, but you might have expected it to be more often, considering the huge drop in quality to play in the Saudi Pro League.

In recent weeks though, things haven't been going well at all for the five time Ballon d'Or winner, who was even mocked by a former Al Nassr player.
The 38-year-old had only scored one goal in his previous three games, and that means he's had more arguments with opponents than goals recently.
So his side's game on Monday, against relegation threatened Al Khaleej, was a way for the former Manchester United star to find his scoring boots again.

However, that's not how things transpired, with the visitors actually taking the lead after four minutes, through Fabio Martins, before Al Nassr's side equalised from Alvaro Gonzalez after 17 minutes.
At full time, with only a point earned, and no goal for Ronaldo, a member of Al Khaleej's staff attempted to take a picture with the Portugal star, but he was shoved off by the very unhappy forward.
Whilst getting a picture with the opposition team rarely ends too well, one can't help but imagine Ronaldo would have been okay with it had his team won, or had he at least scored.

As it is, his time in the Middle East is starting to look more and more like a mistake, or at least an obvious mistake that he now can't be bothered with.
It's probably why former Barcelona star Rivaldo claimed that he had been 'fooled' into signing for the club, and urged to move back to Real.
If the former Juventus man doesn't make it back to Spain in the summer, he may soon be joined by long term rival Lionel Messi in Saudi Arabia.
The PSG star was suspended by the club recently for his decision to visit the Middle East, without permission from the Ligue 1 side.

Al Hilal are said to be interested in signing him once his contract at the Parc des Princes expires, at the end of the season, and are trying to lure him by also bringing in some of his mates.
