He further wrote that he would not be suspended for even a minute and wait for his 49th goal in the next match.
According to his post on X (formerly Twitter), “Everything that is being said about stopping the outstanding player and football legend is completely false. Cristiano Ronaldo will not be suspended for even a minute. Forget the rumors, and wait for his 49th goal in the Al-Hazem match.”
