Cristiano Ronaldo posts 3-word message on social media following on-pitch outburst in Portugal’s draw vs Scotland

Cristiano Ronaldo shared a three-word message on social media following his on-pitch outburst in Portugal's goalless draw with Scotland on Tuesday, October 15.

Ronaldo's message came after the game saw an on-pitch outburst from the legend. Despite having 70 per cent of the possession and taking 14 shots, Portugal failed to get on to the scoresheet. They had to share points with their much inferior opponents.

With a photograph of the Portuguese team in a huddle, the football superstar posted on X:

"Seguimos juntos"

which translates to:

"We continue together" in English.

Ronaldo's frustration was justified given that Portugal were on a 100% win record in the Nations League. The game, however, was heading towards a draw and quite understandably, Ronaldo got incensed. What with Scotland not giving Portugal even an inch and a fans running at him on a couple of occasions, the 39-year-old's night got worse.

Ronaldo did not like referee Lawrence Visser blowing the final whistle when Portugal were due to take a corner kick. The usually demure attacker was put off so badly that he was even seen sarcastically applauding the match officials after full time and stormed off the pitch.

Ronaldo then took to social media to share his thoughts. The Portuguese icon had come off the bench and scored a late winner against Scotland in Lisbon back in September. Scotland will feel that they ran away with a point from this game.

This is Portugal's only drawn encounter in the UEFA Nations League this season, and they remain on top of the Group 1 table with 10 points. Scotland, who have lost three out of the four matches they have played, languish right at the bottom.

Cristiano Ronaldo & Al Nassr have a hectic few days ahead

Ronaldo, who plies his trade for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has already bagged five goals in the six matches he has played in the Saudi Pro League. He has also provided a couple of assists to go with those goals.

The Portuguese legend will hope to win the Saudi Pro League title with Al Nassr this season after having lost it to arch-rivals Al Hilal by 14 points last season. Ronaldo helped his side get to the second position in their previous campaign.

A string of challenging fixtures await Ronaldo and Al Nassr after the international break. They are due to take on Al Shabab in the SPL and Esteghlal in the AFC Champions League within four days. Such fixtures will test Ronaldo and his side's fitness as well as longevity.
