Posting videos of these instances, one fan wrote:
"Second clip after the end of the match. I swear to God, it is lack of modesty and filth. The person has become ashamed to watch the matches with his family and children. Deterrence and punishment stop there!"
Another replied:
"It's getting embarrassing. Too old for this. Faced worse provocation for more than 20 years in Europe. It's not new. I don't get why he has been easily losing his head in Saudi. Getting distracted during games. Reacting to every taunt. Just focus on your game."
Here are some more fan reactions from X:
"39 yr old. (Brain emoji) 7 yr old."
"Can't believe ronaldo fans are proud of this."
"He is going to get suspended."
"39 years old child."
"He's obsessed with Messi."
"Most insecure player ever."
"He is always doing the most."
"Most insecure player Penaldo."
Up next for Ronaldo and Co. is a home fixture in the league against Al-Hazm on Thursday (February 29). Al-Nassr are currently second in the standings, four points behind leaders Al Hilal, who have a game in hand.
