Ronaldo declines runner‑up medal after Al‑Nassr lose Champions League final

Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo declined to accept his runner‑up medal after the club’s loss to Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League final on Saturday night.

Deniz Hommet scored the decisive goal in the match played at Al‑Awwal Park in Riyadh.

Ronaldo was seen walking away from the rest of the squad toward the tunnel at full time.

The 41‑year‑old was not present when head coach Jorge Jesus led the team to collect their silver medals.

Al‑Nassr still have a chance to end the season with a trophy, as they sit two points ahead of Al‑Hilal at the top of the Saudi Pro League.

A win over relegation‑threatened Damac would confirm them as champions.
