Cristiano Ronaldo is well known to everyone. He is a tough player and a generous human. Cristiano Ronaldo experienced an unexpected surprise as WWE star The Undertaker made a dramatic appearance before the Riyadh Season Cup match between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. Celebrating his 39th birthday, Ronaldo was visibly astonished by The Undertaker's entrance onto the pitch in wrestling attire.
 However, the excitement turned sour as Al-Nassr suffered a 2-0 defeat, with goals from salem Al-Dawsari and Sergei-Milinkovic Savic in the first half securing the win for Al-Hilal. Ronaldo, returning from injury, data-faced frustration, compounded by Al-Hilal fans chanting Lionel Messi's name. In response, Ronaldo declared, "I'm Cristiano, not Messi." The defeat and taunts led to a heated moment as an Al-Hilal fan threw a jersey at Ronaldo while going into the tunnel.

 
Overwhelmed with emotions, Ronaldo picked up the jersey, seemingly rubbed it against his crotch, and threw it back into the crowd in frustration. Despite the setback, AL Nassr holds the second position in the Saudi Pro League, trailing leaders Al Hilal by seven points after 19 games. The event added a unique twist to Ronaldo's return from injury and showcased the intense dynamics of fan rivalry in football.
