Criticism of Ronaldo for an obscene gesture after shouts of “Messi, Messi” in the Saudi Arabia stadium. Images posted on social media show the five-time Ballon d'Or winner putting his hand on his ear.
Local media reported that the Saudi football federation opened an investigation. Cristiano could be suspended, meaning he would miss Al Nassr's next match on Thursday against Al Hazem. After signing with the Riyadh-based club in December 2022, Cristiano leads the current season with 22 goals.
