In the Saudi Pro League, nothing else is being talked about except for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese star was punished with a Red card in the Saudi Super Cup after hitting an opponent with his elbow in an attempt to restart the game quickly while his team, Al-Nassr, was trailing by two goals against Al Hilal, who qualified for the final by winning 2-1.
A red card that CR7 didn’t take well and sarcastically applauded the referee, whom he also kicked the ball towards and seemed to want to attack after being sent off.
According to “Al-Riyadiya,” Ronaldo will be punished with a two-match suspension and will also be fined 20,000 riyals, about 5,000 euros.
Of course, this won’t be a problem for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, whose annual salary is 200 million euros.
It’s worth mentioning that the former player of Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus is not going through a positive period as he recently returned from the suspension he received for the unsportsmanlike gesture he made towards Al Shabab fans, who were chanting Messi’s name in early March, to provoke and distract the Portuguese representative.
