Cristiano Ronaldo has been issued with a two-match suspension after making an X-rated gesture at antagonising Al Shabab supporters over the weekend, according to reports.
The 39-year-old was irked by rival fans in Al Nassr's 3-2 win over Al Shabab on Sunday that saw him open the scoring from the penalty spot.
Home fans at the Riyadh side's stadium sought to unnerve Ronaldo by chanting the name of his career-rival Lionel Messi throughout the game and evidently riled the Portuguese.
Al Nassr went on to claim a valuable Saudi Pro League victory with Ronaldo's penalty being topped up by a brace from Brazilian striker Talisca who won the game in the 86th minute.
Ronaldo stepped away from team celebrations at the full time whistle and put his hand to his ear before making a gesture towards his crotch with the signal seemingly aimed at the supporters in attendance.

His actions drew criticism and an investigation into Ronaldo's behaviour was later opened up by the Saudi Pro League's disciplinary body.
The Manchester United and Real Madrid legend has now been punished for his actions and will miss Al Nassr's next two games along with being served a fine, as reported by media in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo will be unavailable for his side's league clash with Al-Hazm on Thursday and could also be sidelined for Al Nassr's Asian Champions League quarter-final clash.

The fine for an undisclosed amount is unlikely to trouble the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner who is paid £175million-per-year by the Saudi Arabian top tier side.
In his second season playing in the Middle East the Portuguese star has maintained his prolific record in front of goal and currently sits top of the league's scoring charts.
Sunday's penalty took his tally for the season to 22 across 20 appearances.
However, Al-Nassr remain four points behind the undefeated Al-Hilal in the league table.
