The football player Cristiano Ronaldo was seen unwinding on the beach just a few days after he was dismissed from the game for violent behavior.
Ronaldo, who is 39 years old, suffered a head injury on Monday evening during Al-Nassr’s Saudi Super Cup semi-final loss to Al-Hilal. The senior superstar appeared to elbow and stamp on an opponent, and then he raised his hand towards the referee for no apparent reason.
Real Madrid legend Ronaldo was involved in a confrontation with Ali Al-Bulayhi when he was sent off in the 86th minute. At the time of Ronaldo’s ejection, Al-Nassr was trailing by a score of 2-0.
Although Sadio Mane scored a consolation goal in the 99th minute, Al-Nassr was unable to continue playing as a result of Ronaldo’s actions concluding what was a very stressful evening.
Just three days after the incident, the Portuguese attacker was seen relaxing on the beach with his partner, Georgina Rodriguez. This occurred despite the fact that he had received a great deal of criticism following the incident.

During Monday night’s Saudi Super Cup match against Al-Hilal, Ronaldo had a red moment.
The model and influencer posted a number of pictures of herself with Ronaldo in what appeared to be Abu Dhabi, away from the spotlight.
‘Two days for two’ was the description for her image. In one of the photos, Ronaldo was seen lounging on a sun lounger, enjoying some food and beverages, flaunting his toned body.
The defender attempted to stop the Portuguese sensation from snatching the ball to take a quick throw-in during his previously mentioned confrontation with Al-Bulayhi of Al-Hilal, which resulted in the two squaring up.
The Al-Hilal defender was then shown on camera being elbowed by Ronaldo, which caused him to fall to the ground and started a brawl between the players.
Then, in another film, Ronaldo looked to be stamping on an Al-Bulayhi who had already fallen, but the vision was obscured by the advertising boards, so it was impossible to tell if Ronaldo had made contact with the player.
The incident led to a brawl between the two Saudi rival sides, with Al-Nassr and former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte attempting to mediate the situation in the dramatic closing moments. Former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly had rushed to the help of his teammate before being shoved.
Ronaldo was furious with the match official after witnessing the two teams of players shove and push one another. Referee Mohammed Al-Hoaish quickly issued a straight red card.
To the extent that Ronaldo waved his hand as if he wanted to punch the referee, or maybe punch the ball he was carrying, before changing his mind.
After being shown the red card and getting into a lot of hot water, Ronaldo then mockingly clapped one match referee on the shoulder.
Ronaldo seemed to address the fans as he was leaving the field, saying, “You are all witnesses to this robbery.”
After a terrible night for both the team and the player, the Saudi Pro League leaders ousted them from the competition, setting off a highly contentious conclusion.
Ronaldo and the referee had already argued earlier in the game after Al-Nassr’s goal was disallowed and the score remained tied.
Otavio believed he had given his team the lead, but it was disallowed because Otavio was judged to have been offside when he placed the ball in the net and Ronaldo had not made contact with the ball.
The game’s eventual eruption of tempers was precipitated by the Portuguese icon’s protestation over the goal that was disallowed, which led to his being issued a yellow card.

As Al-Nassr was eliminated from the Super Cup, Ronaldo stormed off the field, furious at the ruling.
With two goals in the second half, Salem Aldawsari and Malcom gave Al-Hilal the victory and advanced to the Saudi Super Cup’s next round. Mane added a late consolation goal for the 10-man Al-Nassr team late in injury time.
This season, Ronaldo has been in the news for all the wrong reasons more than once in Saudi football.
After making an obscene gesture during Al-Nassr’s victory over Al-Shabab in February, the former Manchester United player was punished by Saudi football bosses for one match. Now, they will miss him for at least one game.
