an ill-tempered King Cup clash between Al-Nassr\u00a0and Al-Ettifaq on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Footage from full-time shows Ronaldo exchanging angry words with Henderson after Al-Nassr had claimed a contentious 1-0 win after extra time thanks to Sadio Mane&#8217;s winner.<\/p>\n<p>A clearly animated Ronaldo gestured towards the England international on multiple occasions in the fiery conversation on the pitch at the\u00a0King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion between the ex-Man United star and former Liverpool captain\u00a0then continued as they walked off the field together, with Ronaldo seen throwing his arms in the air and shaking his head.<\/p>\n<p>Henderson appears to be trying to calm down the agitated Portuguese star as they head towards their respective dressing rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/09\/77261147-12696735-image-a-37_1698830672163.jpg\"

brawl during his team&#8217;s 1-0 defeat as he escaped a red card despite shoving Al-Nassr&#8217;s Otavio to the ground twice.<\/p>\n<p>Following a trip on Al-Nassr forward Otavio by\u00a0Al-Ettifaq midfielder Ali Hazazi, Henderson forcefully backed up his team-mate and twice pushed the Portuguese international to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Al-Nassr players, including Ronaldo, were incensed by the altercation as both sets of players came together in the closing stages of an ill-tempered tie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the 33-year-old Henderson escaped a red card despite his central role in the scuffle, while\u00a0Hazazi was dismissed by the referee.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo also bizarrely demanded a referee be substituted during the quarter-final clash.<\/p>\n<p>He had been angered by the performance of the referee in the closing stages of the first half.<\/p>\n<p>His team-mate Anderson Talisca appeared to have given Al-Nassr the lead in stoppage time as he turned in a cross at the back post.<\/p>\n<p>Talisca&#8217;s effort was initially awarded by Chilean referee Piero Maza but was chalked off following a VAR review after\u00a0Ronaldo was adjudged to have been offside and interfering with play.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

after the Al-Nassr player caught an opponent with his left arm.<\/p>\n<p>Another\u00a0VAR review led to the yellow card being upgraded to a red as Talisca was deemed to have struck out with his arm.<\/p>\n<p>The cup game was the first meeting between Ronaldo and Henderson in Saudi Arabia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Henderson, who reportedly pockets \u00a3700,000-a-week after his stunning \u00a312m switch from Anfield, made his full debut against Al-Nassr but Ronaldo missed the clash in August through injury.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All
