Ronaldo is still waiting for his first goal for his new club having drawn a blank in his first two appearances.

Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure as his side dominated with 64 per cent possession, but only got three shots on target to Al-Ittihad’s five.

His miserable day got off to a bad start when he was mocked by Al-Ittihad fans at the King Fahd International Stadium.

Supporters goaded Ronaldo with cries of “Messi, Messi, Messi.”

Ronaldo, 37, came face-to-face with his rival earlier this month when a Saudi all-star team took on Paris Saint-Germain.

Both players got on the scoresheet with CR7 grabbing two goals and picking up the man of the match award.

The pair embraced before kick-off and seemed amiable as they put an arm around one another.

Ronaldo took to Instagram after the game, which PSG won 5-4, to share a classy message about the World Cup winner.
