Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr team-mate Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem has gone viral for an appalling effort at goal.

Ronaldo has endured a tumultuous time in the Saudi Pro League since moving to Al Nassr in January after an acrimonious Manchester United exit.

The final months of last season saw regular outbursts from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Indeed, he booted a ball away in frustration during a King Cup of Champions win over Abha in March, while in the same month he threw away his captain's armband in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Al-Ittihad.

And the new season has triggered old frustrations for the superstar. On Saturday, during the Saudi Pro League side's Arab Club Champions Cup group game against Al-Shabab, Ronaldo appeared to throw water at a cameraman before ushering him away.

Of course, the Portugal international's frustration is to be expected given the pedigree of his current team-mates compared to his Real Madrid, Juventus and United colleagues of the past.

Indeed, the weekend saw one Al-Nassr player, Al-Sulaiheem, go viral for an atrocious shot he attempted back in March in the aforementioned encounter against Abha.

The 29-year-old picked up the ball on the left flank under no pressure and tentatively shuffled a few yards toward the box before unleashing an abysmal shot that slowly looped into the air at a 45-degree angle. Indeed, the strike was high, wide and a good 20 yards from its intended target.

A frustrated Ronaldo can be seen at the bottom of the picture, placing his hand on his hips in bemusement.

Despite the clip being months old, it has reemerged on Twitter and gone viral. In reaction to the shot, one person said: “This [...] guy kills me, man. Ronaldo is putting up with a lot.”

Another said: “I can see why they’ve lost a lot of pre-season games.”

A third wrote: “Can't believe Ronaldo has to play with this lot week in, week out.”

A fourth tweeted: “They killing him man.”



Al Sulaiheem had also gone viral days earlier during Al-Nassr's 1-1 draw against Inter as part of a tour of Japan. The midfielder was caught looking perplexed by Inter’s ball retention before counting his teammates to ensure they were not playing at a numerical disadvantage.

Of course, Al Nassr have had a busy summer, having signed Lens captain Seko Fofana, Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic and United left-back Alex Telles.

Moreover, Sadio Mane has also been tipped to complete a move to the Saudi Pro League side from Bayern Munich.
