Cristiano Ronaldo suspended over gesture towards rival fans chanting ‘Messi, Messi’
Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a one-match suspension for his gesture during Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League game earlier this month.
Following Al-Nassr’s 3-2 win over Al-Shabab last Sunday, Ronaldo was greeted with Lionel Messi chants from rival supporters.
Ronaldo responded by cupping his ear and repeatedly thrusting his hand towards his groin.
The Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Arabia Football Federation (SAFF) announced on Thursday that Ronaldo will now serve a one-game ban for his conduct.
