While Cristiano Ronaldo had a fight in Saudi Arabia, the tense moment in Liverpool training

Cristiano Ronaldo came out to defend a teammate after the match against Al Shabab. Al Nassr had a great game on Tuesday against Al Shabab, pulling off a comeback that keeps them in contention for the Saudi League title. After the match, a situation between Cristiano Ronaldo and an opposing player went unnoticed.

On Tuesday, May 23, Al Nassr pulled off a great 3-2 win over Al Shabab, after starting 2 goals down. This was a great response from Cristiano Ronaldo's team, as with two games to go, the defeat left them virtually out of the competition. The Portuguese idol was one of the outstanding players of the match, scoring the goal that gave the team the victory. El Bicho finished off a great play with an unstoppable bomb that was worth the 3 points.

A scene that went unnoticed in Tuesday's match was the altercation between Cristiano Ronaldo and the opposing team's substitute goalkeeper, Hussein Shaian. The players had an exchange of words on the way off the pitch. The images, viralised by fans, show the Al Shabab player arguing with Sami Al-Naji. It was at that moment that Cristiano Ronaldo appeared in defence of his team-mate. The captain faced the opposing goalkeeper, said a few words to him and left for the tunnel.

What happened at the training?

While Cristiano experienced another embarrassing episode in Saudi Arabia, there was a tense moment in Liverpool's training session that was recorded when Virgil Van Dijk stood behind Joel Matip and threw an object at his head as a joke, although the Cameroonian turned in annoyance to look for the man responsible and the giant hid behind Curtis Jones.
