After yesterday's Saudi Arabian league match, "Al Nassr" team's forward Cristiano Ronaldo left the field with his head down.

The Riyadh club lost 1:2 at home to "Al Qadsiah" team.

The 40-year-old Portuguese had to console himself that he successfully converted an 11-meter penalty.

It is estimated that this is already the 180th successful penalty in the veteran's career. According to "Transfermarkt" statistics, C. Ronaldo failed to outsmart the opponent's goalkeeper 35 times.

In the account of his eternal rival Lionel Messi, the numbers stand at 114 scored and 32 missed penalties.
