Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a one-match ban following an incident during Al Nassr's Riyadh derby win against Al-Shabab last Sunday. Ronaldo, who had been subjected to Lionel Messi chants, faced criticism for his reaction.
After Al-Nassr secured a 3-2 victory, Ronaldo gestured towards the home crowd, leading to accusations of rudeness and obscenity. An investigation was initiated, resulting in a confirmed one-match suspension and a fine of 30,000 Saudi Riyals (approximately €7,500). This punishment will take effect in Al-Nassr's upcoming match against Al-Hazm.
The incident follows a recent episode where Ronaldo faced backlash for his response to a thrown scarf after the loss to Al-Hilal in the Riyadh Season's Cup. With their captain missing out on the action, it has to be seen if Al-Nassr can keep the pressure up on Al-Hilal to have a chance to win the Saudi Pro League this season.
