The final verdict on Ronaldo’s controversial move has been issued
The disciplinary committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation has suspended Cristiano Ronaldo for one match due to inappropriate behavior in the match against Al-Shabab.
In the 21st week of the Saudi Professional League, Ronaldo made a controversial move. Al-Shabab fans chanted ‘Messi, Messi’ to annoy Cristiano Ronaldo during the game, which angered and upset the Portuguese player.
After the game ended, Ronaldo made an unethical and offensive gesture towards the Al-Shabab fans, which further provoked and angered them.
Despite Cristiano Ronaldo stating that he did not intend to insult anyone and that his gesture is common in European football, the disciplinary committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation found him guilty and suspended him.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended from one official match with Al-Nassr, thus missing his team’s next game.
