Renowned Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo, in an interview with Ariyadhiah, explained the inappropriate gesture towards fans at the end of the match against Al-Shabab (3:2).
I respect all clubs... and the arm movement expresses strength and victory and is by no means shameful or obscene. In Europe, we are accustomed to that.
At the end of the match against Al-Shabab, Cristiano, passing by the stands of the opposing team's fans, made an inappropriate gesture. The reason was a chant about Lionel Messi. An investigation into the incident has begun in Saudi Arabia, and Al-Nassr stated that the video was generated using artificial intelligence.
In the current season, the 38-year-old Ronaldo has participated in 20 matches, scoring 22 goals and providing 9 assists. He also scored 5 goals in six matches in the Asian Champions League. In 2023, the Portuguese striker scored 54 goals and became the world's top scorer.
