Ronaldo executes wrestling move in Al Nassr loss

Cristiano Ronaldo picked up a yellow card on Tuesday after executing a wrestling move that appeared more suited to a WWE ring in Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League clash with Al-Hilal.

In the 57th minute of the game, the Portuguese football star was booked by English referee Michael Oliver for grabbing midfielder Gustavo Cuellar in a headlock and slamming him to the ground.

Oliver, who was a special guest for the top clash, was kept busy throughout the match at Al-Hilal Stadium.

He awarded two penalties to the home side, both of which were successfully converted by former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo. Oliver also initially awarded a penalty to Al Nassr, but after a VAR review, reversed his decision.

The 2-0 loss dealt a significant blow to Ronaldo’s aspirations of winning the Saudi Pro League in his debut season with Al Nassr.
