Cristiano Ronaldo, the football legend, was seen sobbing following Friday's final defeat. In the Saudi Pro League King's Cup final, Al Hilal prevailed over Al-Nassr to win the championship. In this close contest, Al Hilal prevailed 5-4. Penalties decided the outcome of the match. Ronaldo scored a goal with a fantastic kick. Ronaldo lost control of his emotions after the game and sobbed on the actual field.
Ronaldo went to the ground after the game ended in penalties, and although his teammates and coaching staff attempted to cheer him up, he would not stop sobbing. Together with the officials and teammates gathered outside the pitch, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo was also seen looking distraught. On social media, the video is currently becoming viral.
Talking about the match, Serbian forward Alexander Mitrovic scored the first goal for Al Hilal by scoring in the 7th minute, while Al Nasser's Ayman Yahya scored the equalizer in the 88th minute. It became very difficult for Ronaldo's team to score an equalizer as their goalkeeper David Ospina received a red card in the 56th minute.
Al Nasser kept the pressure on Al Hilal after Ospina went out. Just before the 90th minute, Al Hilal had both their center-backs Kalidou Koulibaly and Ali Al-Bulaihi sent off by the referee. In extra time, Al-Nasser got a golden opportunity to become the winner due to the brilliant performance of goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
Bonou again performed brilliantly in the shootout, saving Ronaldo's side's last two penalties as Al-Nassr won the cup despite the injury of their talismanic forward Neymar Jr.
