Cristiano Ronaldo was mocked with Lionel Messi chants after losing in a cup final with Al-Nassr on Friday night.<br/><br/>Neymar's Al-Hilal beat the Portuguese star's team 5-4 in a penalty shootout at the end of a 1-1 match in the final of the King's Cup, which also saw three players dismissed in the regulation 90 minutes.<br/><br/>Ronaldo was visibly devastated at the final whistle, as he fell to the ground in despair before leaving the pitch in tears.<br/><br/>As seen so often during games in Saudi Arabia this season, fans of Ronaldo's opponents mocked the star with chants of Messi - his long-time rival for being named the best player in football.<br/><br/>Footage on social media has captured Neymar relishing the chants, as he laughs while the crowd chants the name of his former team-mate.<br/><br/>While Ronaldo ended his first full season in Saudi trophyless, Neymar's side won two trophies - despite the Brazilian playing just three games all campaign.<br/><br/>The former Barcelona and PSG star suffered a cruciate ligament tear and has not played any football since the end of September. <br/><br/>He was clearly in a good mood though as he saw the fun in fans chanting 'Messi' at Ronaldo.<br/><br/>Another video also caught fans chanting 'Messi' at Ronaldo as the Portuguese forward walked down the stairs at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah with his runner-up medal.<br/><br/>Ronaldo was still clearly distraught as he walked down the stairs after the disappointing loss.<br/><br/>The 39-year-old, who earlier hit the post with a spectacular overhead kick, converted his penalty but could only watch as Bounou, a hero of Morocco's march to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, save twice from the spot during the shoot-out, the first from Ali Al-Hassan and then from Al-Nemer.<br/><br/>One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote: 'Damn, Cristiano Ronaldo looks beyond broken. I have never seen him like this before, it's genuinely sad. <br/><br/>'His team bottled a penalty shoot-out for the 2nd time.'<br/><br/>Al-Nassr's loss came just days after the end of a Saudi Pro League season in which they finished second, 14 points behind Al-Hilal. There was some consolation though as Ronaldo scored twice to set a new league record of 35 goals in a season.<br/>
