Cristiano Ronaldo is 'not used to losing' and lacks 'mental focus' during defeats, Al-Hilal boss Jorge Jesus claimed, after the Al-Nassr star was sent off during the Saudi Super Cup semi-final.
The Man United legend saw red for raising his first towards the referee after appearing to elbow an opponent and stamp on him.
Al-Nassr went on to lose the semi-final 2-1, but Ronaldo lost his head in the 86th minute following an altercation with Al-Hilal's Ali Al-Bulaihi - who had tried to prevent the veteran forward from taking a quick throw.
Footage then appeared to show Ronaldo throwing an elbow in the direction of the Al-Hilal defender, sending him crashing to the floor.
Another clip then appeared to show Ronaldo stamping on an already downed Al-Bulaihi – but the advertising boards obstructed the view, making it unclear whether Ronaldo made contact with the player.
