Ronaldo faces 99 lashes

Portuguese striker of Saudi Al-Nasr Cristiano Ronaldo faces punishment in the form of receiving 99 lashes. The punishment will be carried out if the forward visits Iran again. Index HR reports this.

According to the source, the reason for such a severe punishment was the behavior of the Portuguese - Ronaldo hugged and kissed the Iranian artist after the away match of the Asian Champions League with Persepolis (the meeting took place on September 19, Al-Nasr won with a score of 2:0), thereby violating the strictest laws in the country.

It is worth noting that Fatima (that’s the artist’s name) is a person with disabilities, and also a big fan of the Portuguese football player, so the meeting meant a lot to her. However, it was decided in absentia that the Portuguese should be fined 99 lashes if he ever returned to Iran again.

This season, Ronaldo has scored 11 goals and six assists in 11 matches played in all competitions. After nine rounds of the Saudi Arabian Championship, Al-Nasr is in third position with 19 points.
