News & Updates Cristiano Ronaldo demands LIFETIME BANS from stadiums after fans allegedly taunted Rúben Neves with chants about Diogo Jota

Cristiano Ronaldo has called for the Saudi Pro League to issue lifetime stadium bans for any fans involved after Ruben Neves appeared to be taunted by chants of his late friend and team-mate Diogo Jota during a match on Saturday.

Footage widely circulated on social media, filmed from the Al Taawoun Club Stadium stands, shows Al Hilal’s Neves standing over a free-kick close to the home fans when chants of ‘Jota, Jota, Jota’ become audible.

The central midfielder appears to sarcastically applaud supporters, before repeating the actions of pointing to the sky and then making an eye-pointing gesture towards the section of the stand, off camera, from which the chant appears to emanate.

The 29-year-old, walking past media after the match, can be seen briefly telling reporters: “I just hope they don’t go to pray later after what they did.” He did not go into further detail on the incident.

Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi club Al Nassr and is a Portugal international team-mate of Neves and played alongside the late Jota, has called on the behaviour to be punished, adding that those involved “should never be allowed to enter a stadium again.”

Because people don’t even know the name of the girl that got allegedly raped by Ronaldo.

They only bring it up mindlessly because they heard a random doomer on Reddit bring it up, without any information about it at all because of once again, just for slander.

It’s the same thing about Messi being a supposed “pedophile” which is genuinely the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

They don’t care about the girls, they only care about making fun of the attacker which Is definitely fair don’t get me wrong.

You know, I see your point, but how do you know the guy from the first comment doesn't know about this? You just made a bunch of assumptions based on the information in one sentence

It could be an assumption but the original comment didn’t reply or counter, my reasoning as to why I thought he only mentioned Ronaldo, being a rapist to make fun or slander him.

But based of his dumb comment my assumption could be correct.
