A furious Cristiano Ronaldo stormed off down the tunnel kicking water bottles out of his way after his Al-Nassr team lost 1-0 at Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro league on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The defeat marked the second match in row in which the 38-year-old Ronaldo failed to find the net, with Al-Ittihad goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe parrying away a fierce shot from the Portugal superstar in injury time.<\/p>\n

Brazilian Romarinho scored 10 minutes from time to seal victory for Al-Ittihad, who leapfrogged Al-Nassr to take top spot in the league table.<\/p>\n

Al-Ittihad\u2019s fans taunted Ronaldo throughout the match, repeatedly chanting the name of his ri, Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo, who has scored eight goals in seven league games this season, took off his captain\u2019s armband before leaving the pitch and looked set to throw it, before regaining his composure.<\/p>\n

He applauded the Al-Nassr supporters before leaving the field of play.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisappointed with the result, but we stay focused on our season and the games ahead. Thank you Al-Nassr fans for your support, we know we can count on you!\u201d the Portuguese said on Twitter after the game.<\/p>\n
