Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has just spoken out to explain his offensive action when his anti-fan repeatedly called Lionel Messi’s name.

Ronaldo spoke out about the offensive action

In the duel with Al-Shabab in round 21 of Saudi Pro League 2023/24, which took place in the early morning of February 26 (Vietnam time), Al-Nassr struggled to win 3-2 thanks to a double from Anderson Talisca in the 46th and 86th minutes along with Ronaldo ‘s successful penalty kick in the 21st minute.

Al-Shabab’s two goals in this match came from Yannick Carassco (45+8′ pen) and Carlos (67′). In this match, striker Abdullah Radif of the home team was disqualified at 90+12 minutes.

Despite winning this match, Al-Nassr still ranked 2nd in the Saudi Pro League 2023/24 rankings with only 52 points after 21 matches, 7 points behind top team Al-Hilal.

Throughout the match, many Al-Shabab fans present at Al-Shabab Club provoked Ronaldo by repeatedly calling Messi’s name. That makes CR7 frustrated.

Therefore, after Talisca increased the score to 3-2, Ronaldo approached the stands towards the Al-Shabab fans and put his hand to his ear. After that, the 39-year-old superstar spread his legs and continuously moved his hands up and down.

In a recent interview with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Riyadiya publication, Ronaldo said: “I always respect all clubs. However, we have joy when we show our strength and win. That’s nothing to be ashamed of. We’re used to that in Europe.”

Currently, Ronaldo is facing a two-match ban and fine for this offensive behavior. If that happens, this will be a huge loss for Al-Nassr, because the Portuguese striker has scored 9 goals in the last 8 matches in the Saudi Pro League.

Currently, Ronaldo is still leading the Saudi Pro League 2023/24 top scorer list with 22 goals, 3 goals more than the next ranked person, Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al-Hilal).
