Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo shrugs off SPL ban

Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has responded to his ban from the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo will miss one game of action due to an obscene gesture he made to supporters.

The Portugal forward was upset at constant chants of “Messi, Messi" from the crowd, referencing his long-time rival Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo reacted by cupping his ear and gesturing to his pelvic area in the direction of some Al Shabab fans.

After the ban, Ronaldo shared a photo of him practising in the gym on X, captioned: "Can't stop."

The forward has been fined a modest sum and will have to sit out Al-Nassr's next game.
