Saudi Arabian media confirmed that Ronaldo will be suspended for 2 matches and pay a fine of 20,000 riyals ( 5,333 USD ) for the red card in the match against Al Hilal. According to Goal , Ronaldo was determined to use force to attack his opponent, leading to his being sent off the field.
The 39-year-old player lost control of his behavior. He protested the decision, raised his fist at the referee before turning and leaving in helplessness. On the way out of the field, CR7 sarcastically mocked the referee team controlling the match, then patted the line referee on the shoulder.
Before being disqualified, Ronaldo was seen elbowing Ali Al Bulayhi in the chest after the collision. Al Hilal’s midfielder immediately fell to the field in pain.
This season, Ronaldo was suspended for 1 match and fined 10,000 riyals ( 2,666 USD ) for an offensive celebration in the match between Al Shabab and Al Nassr. When he heard the fans continuously chanting “Messi, Messi”, Ronaldo responded by spreading his legs and continuously moving his hands up and down in sensitive positions.
Ronaldo said: “I respect all clubs. My hand gesture at that time only showed strength and joy of victory, not a defamatory meaning. This action is completely normal in Europe “.
During his peak career, the heaviest suspension Ronaldo ever received was in 2017. At that time, the superstar pushed the referee after receiving his second yellow card in the match against Barcelona, and was suspended for up to 5 matches.
