Cristiano Ronaldo accused of 'contempt' as Man United and Real Madrid legend tears into teammates after cup exit

One of Cristiano Ronaldo's opponents in Saudi Arabia has accused him of treating him with "contempt" after Al-Nassr crashed out of the Saudi Cup.

And the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend was also seen letting rip at his teammates in the wake of their second successive domestic defeat.

Ronaldo scored 11 goals in his first 10 games after his move to Saudi Arabia but he's now failed to score in his last three.

It's a drought by his standards and his time in the Middle East hit a low point when Al-Wehda locked him out and sent his side crashing from the cup.
