Messi: Ronaldo handed one-match ban for obscene gesture

Al-Ittihad knock Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr out of the Saudi Super Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Al-Nassr forward, has been suspended for one game by the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Football Federation after making an obscene gesture following their 3-2 victory over Al Shabab.

Ronaldo cupped his ear and made a hand gesture in front of his pelvic area towards Al Shabab fans, who were chanting Lionel Messi’s name.

The committee’s decision is final and cannot be appealed.
