Star Portuguese footballer and national team Captain, Crisitano Ronaldo is reportedly in line to get deported from Saudi Arabia after reports emerged that a lawyer has called upon the footballer following his gesture towards Al-Hilal fans following Al-Nassr’s 2-0 loss.
A video of Ronaldo walking towards the dressing room, grabbing his crotch as Al-Hilal fans chanted “Messi-Messi”. Ronaldo was apparently agitated with the chanting of his Argentinian counter part but there was nothing new in it either.

But the 38-year-old’s gesture was not welcomed by the fans and there is a wave of rumor that Ronaldo will be deported just 3 months following his transfer from Manchester United. Reputed Saudi lawyer Nouf Bin Ahmed did not appreciate Ronaldo’s actions and said that it is a crime and the Portuguese ace has disrespected the crowd!
“It is considered a crime of public dishonor, and it is one of the crimes that entails arrest and deportation if committed by a foreigner.” – said Nouf Bin.
The lawyer also said that they will take the case to Saudi Prosecutor’s office for his violation of public indecency but Ronaldo’s club Al-Nassr has come out in defense of the record International goal scorer and said he did not try to offend or hurt any supporter in the stands.
In the battle for the Saudi Pro League championship, Al-Nassr’s loss against Al-Hilal causes them to distance themselves from league leaders Al-Ittihad. As the season draws to a close, they are now in second position, three points behind their competitors.
