A disgraceful move by Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo caused a sensation in Saudi Arabia, following his team’s victory over Al-Shabab 3-2 (Sunday), in the 21st round of the Football League.
After the referee blew the final whistle, the five-time best player in the world headed to the stands of Al-Shabab fans, who chanted the name of Argentine star Lionel Messi throughout the match. He put his hand on his ear to indicate that he was unable to hear them, before he made an unethical movement with his right hand, which prompted the latter’s management to file a complaint with the Disciplinary Committee of the Saudi Federation.
While Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper quoted informed sources as saying that “the Disciplinary Committee will subject Ronaldo to a hearing,” the Al-Shabab Club demanded the implementation of Article (57) of the Disciplinary Regulations, which stipulates that “any person who offends the public, by action, word, or gesture, During any match, he is suspended for two matches and punished with a fine of 20,000 riyals ($5,300). The article also states that “the Committee may impose additional penalties from among the penalties mentioned in Article (10) of these regulations.”
