The action appeared to be directed at the rival Al Shabab supporters.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for one match after appearing to make an obscene gesture following Al Nassr’s 3-2 win over Al Shabab, the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Football Federation said yesterday.
After the final whistle on Sunday, social media videos captured Ronaldo cupping his ear before repeatedly pumping his hand forward in front of his pelvic area.In the background, chants of “Messi” could be heard, referencing Ronaldo’s long-term football rival from Argentina. The committee said the Portuguese star would have to pay a fine of 10 000 Saudi riyals to the Saudi Football Federation, and 20 000 riyals to Al-Shabab to cover the costs of the complaint filing fees.In April last year, the 39-year-old Ronaldo appeared to grab his genitals while on his way to the dugout following the end of a league game against Al Hilal, which Al Nassr lost 2-0.
