Recently, the Disciplinary Committee of the Saudi Arabian National Championship asked Cristiano Ronaldo about his allegedly оffensive actions in the match against Al Shabab on February 26.

In the first time sharing about this issue, CR7 affirmed that he did not intend to defame his team’s fans. “I respect the clubs. With joy after victory, I did so to show my strength and happiness, with no intention of mocking anyone. In Europe, this action is completely normal , ” Al-Riyadiya newspaper quoted Ronaldo as saying.

In the recent competition, Al Shabab fans continuously chanted Messi’s nаme. In one situation, Ronaldo turned to his opponent’s fans and put his hand on his ear. Next, CR7 put his hand forward, with a move that was described as “inappropriate”.

A few hours ago, Ronaldo’s punishment was announced. Accordingly, CR7 was banned for 1 match and paid a fine of 7,500 euros. According to Marca, the ban will be implemented immediately. This means CR7 will sit out when Al Nassr faces bottom team Al Hazm on March 1.
