Cristiano Ronaldo throwing water at cameraperson (Image Credit: Twitter)
Portugal player Cristiano Ronaldo was seen throwing water at a cameraperson during an Arab Club Champions Cup tie. In the game against Al-Shabab, both teams failed to score a single goal. Even though Ronaldo scored in the 75th minute of the game, the goal was called an offside. This led to the 38-year-old getting furious and remained the same after the game.
On the sidelines, the Portugal international was having some water when a camera person walked in. The latter was doing his job when Ronaldo threw some water. The video was captured on a fan's mobile and has been uploaded on Twitter by a local media house.

Cristiano Ronaldo was banned for two games last year for bad behavior
Notably, during his stint with Manchester United, he knocked down a fan's phone after a game against Everton. He was slapped with a hefty that led to him not playing the first two games for Al Nassr early this year.
An FA statement said: "Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for two matches, fined £50,000 and warned as to his future conduct for a breach of FA Rule E3.
"The forward admitted that his conduct after the final whistle of the Premier League game between Manchester United FC and Everton FC on Saturday 9 April 2022 was improper.
"An independent regulatory commission found that his conduct was both improper and violent during a subsequent hearing, and imposed these sanctions."
Ronaldo apologized for the incident and took to Instagram for the same.
He wrote: "It's never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing. Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game.
"I would like to apologise for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair play and sportsmanship."
