The Disciplinary Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) launched an investigation into the inappropriate behavior of Al Nasr’s Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo in the Al Shabab match. This was reported by Asharq al-Awsat.
After the end of the match, fans of the opposing team chanted “Messi, Messi!” in the stands. He started shouting slogans. In response, the Portuguese first put his palm to his ear, then made a provocative gesture with his hand near his crotch.
The match played in Riyadh as part of the 21st round of the Saudi Arabian championship resulted in a 3-2 victory for Ronaldo’s team. The Portuguese striker scored the goal himself from the penalty spot in this match.
39-year-old Ronaldo became the top scorer of the championship by scoring 22 goals in 20 matches.
Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or award five times. He played for Real Madrid throughout his career and is the top scorer in the club’s history, as well as playing for Manchester United, Juventus in Turin and Sporting Lisbon.
Previously Ronaldo deleted crotch with opponent’s scarf.
