The Saudi Super Cup turned chaotic last night as Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr clashed with Al Ittihad in a fiery encounter that left fans around the world stunned.

 

The match, already filled with tension, exploded in the second half when referee Mohammed Al-Harbi brandished a straight red card to Sadio Mané after what was deemed a reckless challenge on Al Ittihad’s goalkeeper. The decision sparked outrage from the Al Nassr players and supporters—none more so than Ronaldo himself.

 

Ronaldo Nearly Confronts the Referee

 

Eyewitnesses describe the moment as “unbelievable” when the Portuguese icon sprinted toward the referee in visible fury, gesturing wildly and shouting in protest. Security staff and teammates had to hold him back as he appeared on the verge of physically confronting the official.

 

Fans in the stadium erupted, with chants echoing around the stands both defending and criticizing the decision. Social media has since been flooded with clips of the incident, with many arguing that the referee overreacted, while others believe Mané’s challenge was indeed dangerous.

 

Mané’s Controversial Exit

 

The red card to Mané, who has been a crucial partner to Ronaldo in attack, proved to be the turning point of the match. His dismissal not only weakened Al Nassr’s frontline but also shifted momentum in favor of Al Ittihad. The Senegalese forward looked devastated as he trudged off the pitch, shaking his head in disbelief.

 

Fans React

 

The football world has not stopped buzzing since.

 

Al Nassr supporters claim the referee robbed their team of a fair fight.

 

Neutral fans insist Ronaldo’s aggressive outburst crossed the line and could lead to disciplinary action.

 

Rival fans argue that the referee’s decision was justified, sparking heated debates online.

 

 

What’s Next?

 

The Saudi Pro League authorities are now under pressure to review both Mané’s red card and Ronaldo’s heated reaction. Should disciplinary measures follow, Al Nassr could be without two of their most influential stars in upcoming fixtures.

 

The drama only adds more fuel to the growing spotlight on Saudi Arabian football, where high-profile stars and high stakes continue to deliver unmissable moments.
