Cristiano Ronaldo, playing for Al Nasr, found himself embroiled in controversy during a recent Saudi Pro League match against Al Shabaab. Despite securing a 3-2 victory for his team with a penalty goal, the Portuguese star's actions on the field have landed him in hot water. Amidst chants of 'Messi-Messi' from Al-Shabaab supporters, Ronaldo reportedly lost his temper and made an indecent gesture towards the spectators.
The incident, captured on video and widely circulated on social media, sparked intense criticism of Ronaldo's behavior. According to Saudi media reports, the footballer is set to face a two-match ban and a fine for his misconduct during the match. Al-Shabaab also lodged a complaint against Ronaldo for his actions.
If the ban is enforced, it will be a significant setback for Al Nasr, as Ronaldo will be unavailable for their upcoming league match against Al Hazm and the first leg of the quarter-final clash against Al Ain in the AFC Champions League. The specific amount of the fine has not been disclosed at this time.
Ronaldo's milestone achievement of scoring his 750th club football goal during the match has been overshadowed by the controversy surrounding his conduct on the field.
