The Portuguese champion was the protagonist of a sensational reaction towards the public on the 21st day of the Saudi League. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr defeated Al-Shabab 3-2 away, but the former Juventus player ends up in trouble. He celebrates in a decidedly vulgar way, perhaps in Italy it would have only made many people shake their heads, but in Saudi Arabia it has become a national case.
The Saudi Football Federation has opened an investigation, the Portuguese has in fact ended up in the crosshairs of the disciplinary due to the less than elegant gesture. CR7, scorer of a brace in the final 3-2, responded to the chants of the opposing fans who praised the “enemy” Lionel Messi by first raising his hand to his ear and then waving it back and forth at pubic level. CR7 opened the scoring with a penalty in the 21st minute, followed by a brace from Brazilian Anderson Talisca but, after the match and during the victory celebrations with his teammates, he transcended into this new controversy.
