The leaders of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation have punished the captain of the "Al Nassr" team, Cristiano Ronaldo.

A few days ago, during a local championship match, the 39-year-old striker couldn't control himself when he heard the chants of "Messi, Messi" from the "Al Shabab" fans.

The player made an inappropriate gesture, further agitating the gathered crowd.

It is reported that C. Ronaldo will have to miss one match and pay a fine of 7.5 thousand euros.

In the Saudi Arabian league, the veteran has scored 22 goals, while the "Al Nassr" team is currently in the second place in the tournament standings.
