According to Saudi media reports, the Saudi Football Association's Disciplinary and Ethical Committee is set to announce the punishment for Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sent off for elbowing, resulting in a two-match suspension. It is worth noting that earlier in February this year, Ronaldo was suspended for one match and fined 30,000 Saudi riyals for unsporting behavior and provocation towards fans.
In the semi-final of the Saudi Super Cup, where Riyadh Victory lost 1-2 to Riyadh Al-Nassr, Ronaldo was sent off for elbowing his opponent in the closing stages. According to media reports, the Disciplinary Committee questioned Ronaldo, who defended himself, but according to Article 115 of the Disciplinary Regulations, anyone has the right to defend themselves before the committee makes a decision, which is just a procedural matter before the committee's decision, regardless of whether the misconduct was recorded in the referee's report. |
