UPDATE: Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for one game and will pay a small fine announced the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Football Federation on Wednesday.
Cristiano Ronaldo is in hot water after Al Nassr’s 3-2 victory vs. Al Shabab on Sunday for an obscene gesture made toward opposing fans following the final whistle. Saudi media reported that the Saudi FA have opened an investigation into the incident.
One thing is becoming quite clear for Saudi fans and it’s that Ronaldo HATES having his old rival Lionel Messi’s name chanted at him. That was the case on Sunday when Al Shabab fans let the “Messi” chants rain down on Ronaldo.
Ronaldo scored a penalty in the 3-2 victory but still felt the need to respond to the opposing fans after the game. He did so with a gesture toward his crotch.

We’re not experts in X-rated sign language but it’s a safe guess to assume he was jerking off on the Al Shabab fans.
It’s been reported from Saudi outlet Asharq Al Awsat that Ronaldo could face a two-game suspension for his actions.
This marks the third time in under a year that Ronaldo has done some sort of inappropriate act with his junk during a game. Earlier this month he was spotted on video rubbing his groin with an Al Hilal fan’s kit.

Back in April 2023 some critics wanted Ronaldo deported for grabbing his privates after fans chanted “Messi” at him.
