Problem is, Ronaldo did it in front of away fans to taunt them. He was also caught shouting sons of bitches towards them and still hasn't apologized. I suppose that is why he's gonna get a different punishment.
Please. If this is the case Atletico should have had a stadium ban for their fans chanting Ronaldo is a rapist and his mother is going to die soon at their stadium.
They were also shouting shit at him and throwing trash on the pitch in his direction before he copied Simeone’s gesture. Which he also did in front of our fans too.
Even Simeone said there was nothing wrong with it and it was just expressing that he has cojones too.
Ban would be utterly ridiculous. Reference Russell Westbrook in the NBA telling a racist fan and his wife that he would fuck them up repeatedly on video. $25,000 fine for Westbrook, fan banned for life. Exactly what should be done.
If UEFA wants to suspend players for entirely harmless gestures, than they need to ban the fans hurling profanities and abuse at them first. Or maybe they should just show discretion and realize that Ronaldo responded to classless fans, with a rude gesture, he didn’t go attack them or something of that sort.
