Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Saudi club Al-Nassr, is considered one of the greatest football players of all time, but just as he tasted victories and titles, he also suffered painful defeats in his football career.
The Madeira “rocket” suffered his biggest defeat when he was a player for Manchester United.
Here is a list of Ronaldo's biggest defeats in his career so far:
- Borussia Dortmund 4-1 Real Madrid (April 2013)
Ronaldo managed to score a goal, but Robert Lewandowski had the last laugh by scoring 4 goals on that painful night for Don and his teammates in the Champions League semi-final.
- Watford 4-1 Manchester United (November 2021)
This result was one of the main reasons for the dismissal of Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

After losing the Saudi Super Cup final to his traditional rival Al Hilal, Ronaldo was affected by the loss and burst into tears as if he and his teammates had lost their minds.

Portugal failed to make it past the group stage of the 2014 World Cup, suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of the Germans. Ronaldo did not find the net throughout the match.
