A furious Cristiano Ronaldo and Jordan Henderson were involved in a heated dispute following an ill-tempered King Cup clash between Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq on Tuesday.<br /><br />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's winner.<br /><br />An animated Ronaldo gestured towards the England international on multiple occasions in the fiery conversation on the pitch at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh.<br /><br />The discussion between the ex-Man United star and former Liverpool captain then continued as they walked off the field together, with Ronaldo seen throwing his arms in the air and shaking his head.<br /><br />Henderson appears to be trying to calm down the agitated Portuguese star as they head towards their respective dressing rooms. <br /><br />Henderson, who left Liverpool to join Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq in a shock move in the summer, had incited a brawl during his team's 1-0 defeat as he escaped a red card despite shoving Al-Nassr's Otavio to the ground twice.<br /><br />Following a trip on Al-Nassr forward Otavio by Al-Ettifaq midfielder Ali Hazazi, Henderson forcefully backed up his team-mate and twice pushed the Portuguese international to the ground. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />But the 33-year-old Henderson escaped a red card despite his central role in the scuffle, while Hazazi was dismissed by the referee. <br /><br />Ronaldo also bizarrely demanded a referee be substituted during the quarter-final clash.<br /><br />He had been angered by the performance of the referee in the closing stages of the first half.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Talisca's effort was initially awarded by Chilean referee Piero Maza but was chalked off following a VAR review after Ronaldo was adjudged to have been offside and interfering with play.<br /><br />Ronaldo signaled to the bench for a substitution before pointing directly at the referee.<br /><br />Moments later, Maza booked Talisca after the Al-Nassr player caught an opponent with his left arm.<br /><br />Another VAR review led to the yellow card being upgraded to a red as Talisca was deemed to have struck out with his arm.<br /><br />The cup game was the first meeting between Ronaldo and Henderson in Saudi Arabia. <br /><br />Henderson, who reportedly pockets £700,000-a-week after his stunning £12m switch from Anfield, made his full debut against Al-Nassr but Ronaldo missed the clash in August through injury.
