Fans taunt Cristiano Ronaldo with chants of 'Messi, Messi' after the Man United legend gets sent off for appearing to elbow and stamp on an opponent in Al Nassr's Saudi Cup semi-final defeat

Fans taunted Cristiano Ronaldo with Lionel Messi chants on Monday night after the Al-Nassr star was sent off for a furious outburst.

Ronaldo appeared to elbow and stamp on an opponent on Monday evening before raising his fist towards the referee.

A seething Ronaldo was sent off as Al-Nassr crashed out of the Saudi Super Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 defeat by Al-Hilal.

And Messi devotees took the opportunity to mock the Manchester United legend, something which is a regular occurrence.

As players tangled with each other just before Ronaldo was given his marching orders, the 'Messi, Messi' chant arose from the crowd.
