Cristiano Ronaldo has been summoned to testify before the Discipline and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Football Federation. This action follows a gesture he made during the Al Nassr vs. Al Shabab match, allegedly in response to chants in favor of Lionel Messi.

Cristiano Ronaldo Investigated for "Anti-Messi" Gesture

Arriyadhiah, an Arab media outlet, has disclosed Ronaldo's statement before the committee. In his defense, "CR7" reportedly explained that such gestures are common in European football and that his arm movement symbolizes strength and victory, not anything obscene.

Ronaldo expressed respect for all clubs and players. The committee will now decide on potential actions against the Portuguese star. If found guilty, he could face a two-match suspension. Despite the ongoing investigation, Ronaldo has been included in the squad for Al Nassr's upcoming match against Al Hazem.
