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 he appeared to make an obscene gesture following a Saudi Pro League match.

On Sunday, the 39-year-old Al-Nassr took on Al-Shabab, who have a squad that includes former Atletico Madrid midfielder Yannick Carrasco and ex-Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic.

Ronaldo opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 21 minutes, but his team was denied by a penalty from Carrasco on the verge of half-time.

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

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

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

In response, Ronaldo put his hand to his ear before gesturing to his crotch, seemingly aiming the signal at the supporters in attendance.

According to a report from 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 at the top of the league’s scoring charts.

Sunday’s penalty took his total for the season to 22 across 20 appearances.

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