Cristiano Ronaldo will be be hit with a ban and fine as a result of the “disgraceful behaviour” that led to his latest red card for Al-Nassr.
The Portuguese superstar lost his temper in the closing stages of a Saudi Super Cup semi-final clash with Al-Hilal. After throwing an elbow at Ali Al-Bulaihi, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was dismissed with four minutes left on the clock.
The report posted by the match referee claims that Ronaldo used “excessive force” when striking an opponent, leading to him being sent off. The evergreen 39-year-old objected to that decision, and angrily argued his case, before eventually heading down the tunnel.
