Cristiano Ronaldo elucidated his contentious gesture, which he executed during the match

The leader of Al Nasr, Cristiano Ronaldo, executed a provocative gesture towards Al-Shabab fans during a Professional League match.

Recall that supporters chanted "Messi! Messi!" after the final whistle, to which Ronaldo demonstratively placed his left hand to his ear and then twice waved his right hand in the groin area.

The Portuguese player himself commented on this gesture. Ronaldo stated that such actions are customary in Europe, and he respects all clubs, as reported by Marca.

"I hold all clubs in esteem. The gesture following the strike symbolizes strength and victory, and it is not disgraceful. We are accustomed to it in Europe," Cristiano Ronaldo stated.

It is worth noting that such behavior is strictly prohibited in Saudi Arabia, and if the legendary Portuguese player is found guilty, he may face both a financial penalty and a suspension from several matches. Furthermore, Al Nasr denies Ronaldo's guilt. The club asserts that the scandalous video was generated by artificial intelligence.
