Cristiano Ronaldo has caused a new incident in Saudi Arabia, and this time he did something much worse than grabbing genitals during a league match against Al-Shabab.
Al-Nassr was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup by Al-Hilal with a score of 2-1, and in the 86th minute, Ronaldo received a red card.

One Al-Hilal player, while his team was leading, attempted to prevent Ronaldo from taking a quick throw-in, and the Portuguese lost his temper and struck him twice with his elbow.
A big scuffle broke out near the touchline, and at that moment, fans in the stands began chanting “Messi, Messi.” When the situation calmed down, the referee showed Ronaldo a straight red card, and Cristiano’s reaction afterward was highly condemnable.

He clenched his fist with the intention to hit the referee, but fortunately, he changed his mind at the last moment.
As he exited the field, he sarcastically applauded the referee, and then he urged the crowd to do the same.
This was Ronaldo’s first dismissal wearing the Al-Nassr jersey and the 12th in his entire career.
