The Saudi Arabian League's Disciplinary Committee has launched an urgent investigation into Cristiano Ronaldo's behavior, particularly regarding his indecent gesture towards Al-Shabab fans during yesterday's match, as reported by Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.

After the final whistle, fans chanted "Messi! Messi!" and Ronaldo demonstratively cupped his left hand to his ear, then waved his right hand twice in the groin area.

Such conduct is strictly prohibited in Saudi Arabia, and if the legendary Portuguese forward is proven guilty, he could face both a financial penalty and a suspension for several matches.

Simultaneously, Al-Nassr denies Ronaldo's culpability. The club asserts that the controversial video was generated by artificial intelligence.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in 9 consecutive matches for Al-Nassr in all competitions. In a total of 29 matches this season, the Portuguese forward has accumulated 28 goals and 11 assists.
