C. Ronaldo caused a stir in public opinion because of his offensive behavior after the match with Al Hilal on April 19 in the Saudi Arabian national championship. When the Portuguese striker entered the tunnel, Al Hilal fans chanted Messi's name. That made CR7 extremely angry.
C.Ronaldo's offensive behavior after being mocked by Al Hilal fans.
Instead of ignoring, the Portuguese striker responded with an offensive action. C. Ronaldo grabbed his genitals, facing the Al Hilal fan. The superstar's actions pushed the situation further. According to lawyer Nouf Bint Ahmed, many fans filed a lawsuit against C. Ronaldo and requested the striker to be expelled.
However, after reviewing the situation, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation's Disciplinary and Ethics Committee did not impose any punishment on C. Ronaldo. Instead, they only fined Al Nassr 15,000 riyals (nearly $4,000) for the players' delay before entering the second half.
Explaining why they did not impose a penalty on C. Ronaldo, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation affirmed that they would only consider the incident if the referees reported it in the post-match report, not based on videos on social media.

Al Nassr has explained C. Ronaldo's alleged rude behavior. The Saudi Arabian club said: "C. Ronaldo was injured. The collision with Gustavo Cuellar caused the striker to suffer pain in a sensitive area. That is the information Al Nassr confirmed. Fans can speculate whatever they want."
Meanwhile, lawyer Nouf Bint Ahmed affirmed: "Even when provoked by the crowd, C. Ronaldo must know how to react. His behavior is like a crime. Indecent behavior in public is one of the crimes that allows Saudi Arabian authorities to arrest and deport foreigners if they commit crimes. We will petition the Ministry of Public Works on this issue."
