A trophyless season is not something the Portuguese forward is willing to accept that easy...

There are millions of footballers out there in the world. But one of them is definitely unique for all the specific reasons - Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 39-year-old Portuguese forward decided to move to Saudi Arabia, but his ambitions haven't dropped, not even an inch. He wants to be the best, to win everything. And one would say he's still struggling with the idea of losing. To put it politely...

Namely, Cristiano broke down in tears after last night's Al-Nassr's defeat to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Kings Cup final on penalties to end their season trophyless.

Ronaldo took the second chance in the shootout and converted it, as did Al-Hilal's star Aleksandar Mitrovic, but in the end, Al-Hilal's keeper Bounou made the decisive difference to help his side win the final 5-4 on penalties.

The two teams were locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes, with Ronaldo's side scoring a last-gasp equalizer through Yahya to push the game to extra time.

However, the shootout ended in Al-Hilal's victory, which means they have won the domestic double, since Jorge Jesus' slot triumphed in the Saudi Pro League ahead of Al-Nassr too.
