Ronaldo caught up in huge bust-up after defeat as Mane grabs rival’s throat
Cristiano Ronaldo was caught up in a huge bust-up after Al-Nassr were dumped out of the Asian Champions League.
That's after Sadio Mane escaped red for grabbing a rival's throat.

Al-Nassr won 4-3 on the night after losing the first leg 1-0, sending the game to extra time.
Neither side could find an ultimate breakthrough, with Ronaldo left reeling from an awful miss inside the six yard box.
Al-Nassr were also lucky to be left with 11 men on the pitch as Mane was seized by a moment of madness.
With 20 minutes still to go, he grabbed Saeed Juma by the throat before escaping with just a yellow card.
But the Saudi side did end up with 10 men during extra time, with Ayman Yahya dismissed for a wild challenge.
The match then went to dreaded spot-kicks, but Ronaldo was the only Al-Nassr star to hit the target as Al-Ain won the shootout 3-1.
The United Arab Emirates side robustly defended their victory against their moneybags Saudi rivals.
And it caused a big ruckus to break out on the pitch between players and staff.
