Scandalous expulsion for Cristiano Ronaldo during the Saudi Arabian Super Cup semi-final between Al Hilal and Al Nassr. Because in the 41st minute of the ST (0-2 of his own), the Portuguese collided with the Brazilian Renan Lodi (who Angelito Di María beat on goal in the 2021 Copa América final). and this led to the red card and an exit from the field which did not go unnoticed, eliminated by the referee and one of the line judges.
It all started with a dispute over a team in the middle of the field. Cristiano began to claim that the ball was for his team, he grabbed the ball and elbowed his rival, who was very close to him. As soon as it was grazed, Lodi fell to the ground, also exaggerating. Amidst the commotion of the players, CR7 also touched the Brazilian to the ground with his leg and The main referee showed the former Manchester United player the red card.
Once I saw the cartoon, very upset, CR7 raised the ball he was holding and tried to throw it towards the referee. He regretted it in time (even though he did the gesture). However he continued to protestToday, when he approached the line, he touched his left shoulder and congratulated him ironically.
It took him a while to leave the playing field. First of all, the Portuguese took some time to hand over the captain’s ribbon and, already heading towards the changing rooms, He continued to ironically applaud the referee and invited the fans to do the same. Very hot.
Al Nassr scored but it wasn’t enough to reach the final, where they will face Al Hilal (of Jorge Jesus) against Marcelo Gallardo’s Al Ittihad. Yes, a new edition of the classic among technicians.
Meanwhile, the question falls on Cristiano Ronaldo. What sanction will he receive after this embarrassment?
