It was when his Al-Nassr defeated Riyadh rivals Al Shabab 3-2 that Ronaldo got the feeling. He cupped his hand over one ear, turned to the opposing fans, and ran his hand up and down his sex.
The Portuguese hit back at the jeering fans who chanted “Messi, Messi” in chorus.
39-year-old Ronaldo claims that the gesture was a way of celebrating a victory which he states is something that is traditionally done in Europe. It is not the first time that Ronaldo has been noticed for his gestures in the Saudi league.
May be fined SEK 50,000
Last year, he grabbed his genitals when the opposing fans in Al Hilal shouted “Messi, Messi”. The club then explained that Ronaldo felt an injured groin.
Ronaldo will also be fined SEK 50,000, according to the disciplinary and ethics committee of the Saudi Football Association.
