CRISTIANO RONALDO has suffered more woe in Saudi Arabia after Al-Nassr were knocked out of King Cup by 10-man relegation strugglers.
Ronaldo’s side were beaten by Al Wehd – who sit two places above the drop zone and played with ten men from the 53rd minute.
But Frenchman Jean-David Beauguel’s 23rd minute opener was enough to see Ronaldo denied a shot at silverware in the Middle East.
The former Manchester United forward cut a frustrated figure as the final whistle sounded.
It comes after Al-Nassr were knocked off the top of the league following defeat to Al Hilal with Al-Ittihad leading the way.
Al-Nassr are also out of the Saudi and Riyadh Super Cups.

Ronaldo’s anger was on full display after a 2-0 loss to Al-Hilal, with ex-United striker Odion Ighalo scoring twice.
The legendary striker was also shown a yellow card for a hilarious WWE-style headlock on Gustavo Cuellar.
He then courted controversy by appearing to make an obscene gesture towards fans, leading to calls for Ronaldo to be DEPORTED for public indecency.
While exiting the pitch, the Portugal legend had been greeted by jeers and chants of “Messi, Messi” by Al-Hilal supporters.

And it was then Ronaldo appeared to aim an X-rated gesture as he grabbed and shook his genitals in their direction.
Al-Nassr insiders claimed the Portugal icon grabbed his crotch because he received a knock in that area during the match.
The Saudi club confirmed this in a subsequent statement, which read: “Ronaldo suffers from an injury.
“His challenge with Gustavo Cuellar, the Al-Hilal player, started with a blow in a very sensitive area.
“This is confirmed information. As for the fans’ explanations, they are free to think whatever they want.”
