WATCH: Ronaldo's 'wild' reaction to Messi chants

Cristiano Ronaldo seemingly had a shocking reply to chants of Lionel Messi's name during Al Nassr's latest defeat.

With the title race heating up in the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr, who are currently second on the log, suffered another big blow after losing 2-0 to fourth-placed Al Hilal on Tuesday night, with former Manchester United star Odion Ighalo scoring two penalties to seal the win for his side.

This result has given league frontrunners Al Ittihad the opportunity to open a six-point lead over Ronaldo's team as they are now three points ahead of them on the table with a game in hand.

Despite playing the full 90 minutes, the legendary forward was unable to help guide his team to a much-needed win against one of their biggest rivals in Hilal. 

As Ronaldo walked off the pitch following the final whistle, he was greeted by loud chants of "Messi! Messi! Messi!" from opposition supporters.

Instead of ignoring them, the 38-year-old proceeded to grab his genitals and shake them while walking to the tunnel, according to the Metro. 

Here is the incident:

This gesture is often used to taunt and cause anger in the person/s it is directed at.

It is further claimed the former Real Madrid attacker could face punishment for the controversial action.

Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure throughout the tie, having had a goal disallowed and received a booking for grabbing Gustavo Cuellar in a headlock, as can be seen below, although some feel he was lucky not to be sent off for the challenge.

Recent reports suggested the Portugal international may soon have reason to smile again, with Al Nassr said to be ready to offer big money to persuade Zinedine Zidane to become their next permanent manager.
