Cristiano Ronaldo, no fines for forbidden gesture

Cristiano Ronaldo, no fines for forbidden gesture

No fine for the sign of the cross made by Cristiano Ronaldo after the goal he scored at Al Short in the Arab Champions.

Thanks to the goal on a penalty kick, CR7 dragged his Al-Nassr side into the final of the competition, which will see them face Al Hilal in Ta’if next Saturday in a fiery cup derby.

Public expression of the Christian faith is forbidden in Arabia, but Ronaldo will not receive a fine or be punished. “He is free to do what he wants,” are the Arab sources quoted by Gazzetta dello Sport.

Thanks to Ronaldo’s landing in Saudi Arabia, the local league has made a huge leap in quality, and from next season there will be dozens of champions arrived from the Old World to face each other in the Saudi League.
