Cristiano Ronaldo already in the eye of the storm in his new adventure in Saudi Arabia .
The Portuguese star scored the goal that dragged Al Nassr into the Arab Champions League final , where they will face Milinkovic-Savic and Koulibaly's Al Hilal next Saturday. However, it was Cr7's exultation that caused discussion: after the goal, the Portuguese champion made the sign of the cross . A gesture that is certainly not negligible: in Saudi Arabia it is forbidden to openly and publicly demonstrate one's Christian faith.
The penalties are very severe for transgressors: the charge is of proselytizing one's own religion .
Years ago the Colombian Juan Pablo Pino, who played for Al Nassr between 2011 and 2012, was even arrested after being caught in a shopping center in Riyadh with a visible tattoo depicting the face of Jesus.
