Cristiano Ronaldo found himself under scrutiny for his obscene gesture in Saudi Arabia. His team Al Nassr found it challenging to beat midtable Al Shabab away from home.
In the end, Ronaldo's team won and he scored the opening goal from the penalty spot, but the home crowd decided to troll the Portuguese with the old trick — chanting Leo Messi's name.
Though it often prompts a reaction from Cristiano, this time, Ronaldo went even further with his response: he cupped his ear and repeatedly pumped his hand left and right in front of his pelvic area.
As the controversy unfolds, the Saudi Football Federation is expected to launch an investigation into the matter.
Social media were full of funny comments on this moment.
badass_guts: "Lmao he has given so many memes in the past few years. I found this hilarious as well."
LewisOfAranda: "Maybe he just really wanted a handjob?"
hairlikegoats1: "You guys minds are so dirty. He’s obviously trying to be a DJ."
JDubsdenspur: "Is that gesture legal in Saudi Arabia?"
badass_guts: "New Fortnite emote just dropped."
fancyfoe: "His first born is like 15 now, imagine seeing this shit or friends at school showing it to you."
Ronaldo has dealt with criticism before. In April last year, after a 2-0 league defeat against Al-Hilal, he seemed to grab his private parts while heading to the dugout.
Just a few weeks ago, during the Riyadh Season Cup final where Al-Nassr lost 2-0, Ronaldo caught an Al-Hilal scarf thrown from the stands. He put it in his shorts and then tossed it away as he walked toward the tunnel.
