Cristiano Ronaldo shows solidarity with Ruben Neves: «This is no longer football, there must be limits»

Record13 September 2026 at 12:56

Cristiano Ronaldo expressed solidarity with his colleague Ruben Neves following an incident involving Al Taawon fans. The captain of the National Team highlighted that the behavior of these fans, who provoked him by chanting "Jota," exceeds acceptable limits in sport.

The Portuguese striker did not hesitate to condemn the fans' attitudes, stating that "this is no longer football." Ronaldo emphasized that there must be clear limits for this type of behavior on the pitch.

The Saudi Pro League player also considered that the Saudi league has the responsibility to severely punish this type of provocative action, in order to protect players and preserve the integrity of the competition.

Why this matters

This article appeals to readers interested in Portuguese football as it showcases the position of one of the most influential figures in world sport – Cristiano Ronaldo – on the safety and respect that players deserve. His intervention can pressure the Saudi league to take concrete measures against fan provocations and insults, benefiting not only Ruben Neves, but all players competing in that championship. Ronaldo's public support for a Portuguese teammate also reinforces the cohesion among national footballers playing in Saudi Arabia.
