Cristiano Ronaldo just could not let it lie. It had been an especially bad-tempered game, with the Al-Nassr star clashing with a play-acting opponent, seeing two goals disallowed for marginal offside calls and also being clattered by Al-Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bounou without a penalty being given.
