Cristiano Ronaldo intervenes as ex-Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema gets in heated clash with Al-Nassr midfielder in Saudi Pro Leauge clash

Ronaldo's Al-Nassr were beaten 2-1 by Al-Ittihad on Friday. His former team-mate, Benzema, opened the scoring after 55 minutes and, just two minutes later, Ronaldo equalised. Shortly after, the Frenchman clashed with Otavio, before Ronaldo got himself involved and calmed his former team-mate down.

Ronaldo and his team-mates were ultimately dealt a bitter blow, as Steven Bergwijn scored a last-minute winner to give Ittihad a massive victory. Ronaldo's side are now fourth in the Saudi Pro League, 11 points behind Ittihad.

Al-Nassr have now lost two games in a row due to a stoppage time goal, having gone down 2-1 to Al-Sadd in the AFC Champions League in a similar fashion in midweek.

The Saudi Pro League now faces a lengthy winter break. They will not play again until January 9, in a clash with Al-Akhdoud.
