Situation dates back to an incident in 2023, when the player had a meeting with Iranian artist Fatemeh Hammami Nasrabadi
You will not make the trip with Iran for the confrontation against Esteghlal, valid for the Champions League of Asia. The decision was influenced by concerns related to a possible severe punishment, which could include 99 chibatadas by adultery, as reported by the Spanish newspaper. This situation dates back to an incident in 2023, when the player had a meeting with Iranian artist Fatemeh Hammami Nasrabadi. During this meeting, Ronaldo received a painting from the artist and, in greeting her with a hug and a kiss on the forehead, generated controversy.
According to Iranian legislation, such gestures can be interpreted as adultery, which led to a series of speculation about the legal consequences that the player could face. Given this scenario, the al-Nassr team tried to request that the match be held in a neutral location, aiming to avoid any complication for the athlete. However, this request was denied, resulting in the exclusion of Ronaldo from the list of players who will participate in the game.
Currently, at 40, Cristiano Ronaldo stands out as the Saudi Championship scorer, accumulating 17 goals in the competition. He is also looking for a significant milestone in his career, which is to reach the impressive one thousand goals.
