The scenery was as follows: The 38-year-old Portuguese wanted to move into the semi-finals of the so-called “King Cup of Champions” with his new club al-Nassr. They were already 2-0 up when Ronaldo had a chance to score a third goal from a counterattack just before half-time – but the referee blew the whistle.
Ronaldo was open-hearted about it and hammered the ball vertically into the sky out of frustration – practically up into the clouds.
At least that’s how Ryanair imagines the action and posts it on Twitter to make fun of Ronaldo’s outburst of anger.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner received a yellow card from the referee for hitting the ball away on the field, al-Nassr ultimately won 3-1 without a Ronaldo goal.

Outbursts of anger are part of the Portuguese. Just last Friday, Ronaldo cleared water bottles on the sidelines with his foot.
The fact that Ryanair is amused by the mishaps of world football stars seems to be becoming a tradition.
