The incident took place after Ronaldo thought he had given his team a 1-0 lead.

Bottles rained down on the Al-Nassr team as they celebrated, with one hitting Otavio on the head and bursting on impact.

The player immediately fell to the ground and his teammates begged the crowd to stop launching projectiles.

There was a hostile atmosphere at King Abdullah Sports City from the start, with fans chanting Messi’s name at Ronaldo throughout.

Al-Ahli is one of four teams owned by the Saudi government’s Public Investment Fund and has stars in their side.

As rivals to Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli has included Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Allan Saint-Maximin in their squad.

Al-Nassr would go on to win the match 1-0 via a Ronaldo penalty, ultimately giving him the last laugh.

After scoring, Ronaldo and co gave something back to the Al-Ahli fans in a playful way.
