Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, 39, has been embroiled in controversy for allegedly making lewd gestures on the pitch.
According to reports from Reuters, the British newspaper The Guardian, and others, Ronaldo’s team, Al Nasr, 안전카지노사이트 won a 3-2 Saudi Professional League match against Al Shabab.
The controversy arose after the game. After the final whistle blew, Ronaldo put his left hand to his ear as if he was trying to hear the sound, and repeatedly put his right hand in front of his pelvic area.
After the video was released, Ronaldo was criticized for “reminiscent of an obscene act”. Some have suggested that Ronaldo’s behavior was motivated by the chanting of Lionel Messi’s name in the Al Shabab stands during the match.
Some local media reported that the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) had launched an investigation into the matter, but the organization has yet to comment.
Ronaldo has been embroiled in similar controversies in the past. After a 2-0 loss in a cup final earlier this month, he tucked an Al Hilal scarf thrown at him by a supporter into the bottom of his jersey and threw it back as he left the field.
