The elbow that Cristiano Ronaldo gave to his opponent in the chest resulted in him being sent from the field. The Portuguese superstar then made a threat to attack the referee while garnering jeers from the spectators who were present on the pitch.

The incident occurred in the 86th minute of the Saudi Super Cup semi-final, when Ronaldo’s Al Nassr was leading Al Hilal by a score of 2-0. Salem Al-Dawsari and Malcom, a former player for Barcelona, had scored goals for Al Hilal.

Al Hilal midfielder Ali Al-Bulayhi blocked Ronaldo, a striker who is 39 years old, from carrying out his desire to rapidly throw the ball in after it went out to the touchline. Ronaldo collected the ball and intended to send it in as quickly as possible.

It was impossible for Ronaldo to contain his rage, and as a result, he directly elbowed the Saudi Arabian player in the chest. Almost instantly, Al-Bulayhi collapsed to the ground while clutching his chest in disbelief.

Immediately after arriving on the scene, referee Mohammed Al Hoaish issued a red card to Ronaldo, which resulted in his immediate elimination from the competition. The superstar from Portugal gave the impression of being astonished, raised his fist in the direction of Mr. Hoaish, and made an attempt to rush forward. As a result of the referee turning away at that moment, Ronaldo’s menacing move went unnoticed until much later.

CR7 was subsequently subjected to jeers and taunts from the crowd on the pitch, who chanted “Messi” throughout the match.

Ronaldo has been shown a red card for the 12th time in his career, and this is the first time he has been sent off since the year 2018. In the process of leaving the field, he made a sarcastic gesture toward the referee, then clapped his hands and said, “That’s a thumbs up.” It is possible that the celebrity, who is 39 years old, will be suspended for this string of deeds.

Al Hilal emerged victorious in the result of the match, which ended with a score of 2-1 in favor of Al Hilal. The goal scored by Sadio Mane in the seventh minute of injury time was not sufficient to assist Al Nassr in making a comeback against their opponents.
