Cristiano Ronaldo could be banned for TWO games after hitting back at fans chanting Lionel Messi’s name at him by pulling out Diego Simeone’s crude celebration.
With Al Nassr locked in a title race in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo’s side claimed a last-gasp victory as Talisca scored in the 86th minute.
It saw them claim all three points against Al Shabab, who had equalised twice before through former Atletico Madrid star,Yannick Carrasco and Carlos.
The Daily Mail reports that following an investigation Ronaldo has been slapped with a two-game suspension, although nothing has been confirmed.
Throughout the match, Ronaldo had been jeered at by the home fans at the Al Shabab FC Stadium, including chants of ‘Lionel Messi’ ,his old Ballon d’Or rival rival.
So as Talisca ran off to celebrate his late goal, Ronaldo had his own method – by pelvic thrusting at the crowd.
The 39-year-old appeared to cup his ears and then moving his hand to and from his pelvic area multiple times.
However, the gesture could see Ronaldo punished. As per Saudi newspaper Asharq al-Awsat, via Reuters, the Saudi Arabia football federation have opened an investigation into Ronaldo’s conduct.
A number of pundits have been critical of the gesture and called for the former Real Madrid and Manchester United man to be sanctioned.
