An investigation has been opened into Cristiano Ronaldo’s somewhat excessive reaction during the match against Al Shabad that took place in the early morning of February 26.
The Portuguese superstar continued to maintain his brilliant form by scoring in Al Nassr’s 3-2 victory over Al Shabab in the early morning of February 26.
After kicking the opponent’s goal, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner celebrated in the familiar “Siuuu” style. However, Al Shabab fans deliberately angered Ronaldo by chanting Lionel Messi’s name immediately afterward, causing Ronaldo to respond by placing his hands on his ears.
Not only that, CR7 also performed another confusing action by spreading his legs and continuously moving his hands around his groin.
Ronaldo’s somewhat obscene actions certainly made many people feel “hot-eyed” and authorities in the Middle East were called on to take action.
It is understandable that Al Nassr is keen to protect his talented captain against any wrongdoing, but the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Arabian football federation has opened an investigation and will study all available evidence before making a decision about what happens next.
According to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper, which cited sources in the commission, the verdict will be delivered in the next 48 hours. They wished to act quickly and decisively, leaving many Saudis disappointed and angry at Ronaldo’s supposed antics.
CR7 could face a ban if he is found guilty, which would rule the Portuguese captain out of key matches in his bid to topple Al Hilal at the top of the Saudi Pro League table. If he gets out of trouble, the five-time Golden Ball winner will return to play in the match against Al Hazm on March 1.
