The “disgraceful behavior” that led to the straight red card that Cristiano Ronaldo received in Al Nassr’s 1-2 loss to Al Hilal in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup will result in him receiving a suspension and a fine. Ronaldo will be responsible for both of these consequences.

After elbowing Al Hilal defender Ali Al-Bulaihi in the chest outside the touchline in the 85th minute, Ronaldo was shown the red card and subsequently dismissed from the game. In the report that was recorded by the referee, it was noted that CR7 had used “excessive force” when he collided with his opponent, which resulted in him being shown a red card.

It has been reported by Saudi Arabian media that Ronaldo will be punished for his acts by being suspended for two matches and paying a fine of 20,000 riyals, which is equivalent to more than 5,300 USD. In spite of this, it is not obvious whether CR7 will be subjected to additional punishment or not. At the time that the “king in black” gave the red card, he raised his fist to “hit” the referee.

A significant number of people have shared the video of Ronaldo shaking his fist at the referee across various social networks. Numerous people are of the opinion that CR7 ought to be punished more severely due to the fact that his behavior was extremely unsportsmanlike.

In the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo was given a one-match suspension at the end of February for celebrating inappropriately during Al Nassr’s 3-2 victory against Al Shabab. The match was played in the Saudi Pro League. It was during that match that the striker, who was 39 years old at the time, became enraged because Al Shabab fans were repeatedly yelling Lionel Messi’s name, which caused him to lose his patience.

Over the course of this season, Ronaldo has participated in 37 matches across all competitions for Al Nassr, where he has scored 36 goals and assisted on 12 others. The only thing that remains for CR7 to work toward is winning the King Cup, but they are facing a blank season. It will be extremely challenging for Al Nassr to unseat Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. This is due to the fact that they are now 12 points behind their rivals in the rankings, and there are only seven rounds left till the end of the season right now.
