New trouble for Cristiano Ronaldo: He made a gesture implying "theft" during the Riyadh derby and may face a 2-4 match suspension.

Despite Ronaldo’s prolific scoring and topping the Saudi Pro League goal charts, Al-Nassr, his club, is having a tough time. Following a 1-3 loss at Al-Hilal in round 15, the team has lost three straight league games, dropping 11 points in their last four fixtures. This shift moved them from a 4-point lead to 7 points behind in the standings, meaning Al-Nassr’s title challenge is effectively over this season.

During the Riyadh derby, when Ronaldo’s Portuguese teammate Rúben Neves scored a penalty to make it 3-1 for Al-Hilal, Ronaldo, who had been substituted early, sat on the bench with a bitter smile and made a rotating finger gesture.

According to foreign media outlet beIN Sports, Ronaldo’s gesture was meant to suggest that Al-Nassr was "robbed," likely expressing dissatisfaction over the referee awarding Al-Hilal two penalties in one match. This disrespectful act has drawn the attention of the Saudi Pro League authorities, and the controversial gesture could result in Ronaldo facing a 2 to 4 match suspension along with a fine.

Fans have been debating the incident, arguing that awarding Ronaldo a penalty is justified, but giving penalties to the opponents is considered theft? Al-Hilal’s 3-1 win over Al-Nassr was fair, with no issues regarding the two penalties given to Al-Hilal. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is known for frequently diving inside the box to try to win penalties in nearly every game.With the legendary Batistuta before him and the fierce Ronaldo after him.However, since the winter of 2022, Ronaldo seems to have lost his way, becoming a player who falls easily—whether touched or not.

Some fans even suggest that if Ronaldo is suspended, it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Al-Nassr. What is your opinion on this?
