For a man who is raging against the dying of the light, Cristiano Ronaldo is doing a good job of throwing a blanket over the fire. And by throwing a blanket, what Football Daily really means to say is throwing a hissy fit, a wobbly, a tantrum. The legendary footballer, reduced to something of a tap-in artist these days in a league of – at best – questionable quality, seemingly threw his toys out of his Bugatti on Sunday after deciding that not enough investment has been made in his club, Al-Nassr, in comparison to the other Saudi ones.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Al Nassr forward missing for Saudi Pro League club amid rumours he is unhappy with club's transfer activity
Cristiano Ronaldo was not named in Al Nassr's team to play Al Riyadh on Monday; the Portugal captain is said to be unhappy with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund's running of the club; He feels other PIF-owned clubs such as Al Hilal are getting preferential treatment
Cristiano Ronaldo appears to have gone on strike at Al Nassr.
Ronaldo was missing from his team's Saudi Pro League game against Al Riyadh on Monday – with Portuguese media claiming the star is unhappy about the running of the club.
Al Nassr are one of four Saudi Pro League clubs owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Ronaldo believes the other three clubs – Al Hilal, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad – are getting preferential treatment, especially in the transfer market.

Cristiano Ronaldo left OUT of Al-Nassr squad to face Al Riyadh amid transfer frustrations at Saudi Pro League club
Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has been left out of Al-Nassr's squad for Monday's Saudi Pro League clash against Al Riyadh. Ahead of the game there had been speculation that Ronaldo would refuse to play in the match after being left frustrated by the way the PIF (Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia) is managing the club, particularly in regards to transfers.
Al-Nassr have now confirmed their team for Monday's match and Ronaldo is conspicuous by his absence. The 40-year-old is not even among the substitutes for the match between title-chasing Al-Nassr and Al-Riyadh, who are struggling at the wrong end of the table and start the game in 15th place. Victory in the match will see Al-Nassr move level on points with league leaders Al-Hilal, although they will have played one game more than their title rivals.
