In the thrilling Saudi Pro League clash that ended in a 4-4 draw, Ronaldo fans started chanting his name in the 7th minute. Fans’ gesture came as support to the iconic player who received a one-match ban for his obscene gesture during Al-Nassr’s clash against Al-Shabab.
During Al-Nassr’s 3-2 win over Al-Shabab, Ronaldo made an inappropriate gesture that seemed to be aimed at the Al-Shabab fans. Ronaldo was handed the suspension by the Saudi Arabia Football Federation (SAFF) Disciplinary and Ethics Committee. Not only this, but the 39-year-old will also have to pay a fine of 20,000 Saudi Riyals. As Al-Nassr locked horns with Al-Hazm, fans started to chant Ronaldo’s name in the seventh minute, which apparently moved the footballer to tears.
