Cristiano Ronaldo makes obscene gesture at fans after they chanted ‘Messi, Messi’ at him after Al-Nassr’s win over Al-Shabab… and could now face an investigation from Saudi FA

Cristiano Ronaldo will reportedly face an investigation after appearing to make an obscene gesture following a Saudi Pro League match.

On Sunday, the 39-year-old Al-Nassr faced Al-Shabab, who have a squad that includes the likes of former Atlético Madrid midfielder Yannick Carrasco and former Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic.

Ronaldo opened the scoring with a penalty in the 21st minute, but his team was slowed by a Carrasco penalty on the stroke of half-time.

Talisca restored the visitors’ lead after the restart, with the Brazilian again on hand to secure the late winner for Al Nassr after Carlos had equalized for the hosts.

With three points secured after the 3-2 victory, Ronaldo congratulated his teammates at the final whistle.

However, the Portugal international appeared annoyed by fans in the crowd chanting the name of his former El Clasico rival Lionel Messi.

In response, Ronaldo put his hand to his ear before gesturing towards his crotch with the signal apparently directed at the fans present.

According to a report by The TelegraphSaudi newspaper Asharq al-Awsat said the national football federation (SAFF) has since opened an investigation into the incident.

In his second season in Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese star has maintained his prolific record in front of goal and currently sits first in the league’s scoring charts.

Sunday’s penalty brought his tally for the season to 22 in 20 appearances.

However, Al-Nassr remains four points behind unbeaten Al-Hilal in the league standings.
