Hand clenched into a fist
Ronaldo sees red and threatens violence against referee
Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off with a straight red card in the semi-final of the Saudi Super Cup and caused outrage with his reaction to the decision. With the score at 0:2, the former European champion from Portugal scuffled with an opponent on Monday evening and pushed him to the ground - resulting in a red card in the 86th minute. The Portuguese then made a gesture threatening violence towards the referee.

His club Al-Nasr managed to equalize in stoppage time, but still lost to rivals Al-Hilal and missed out on a place in the final of the mini-tournament for the Saudi Super Cup, held in Abu Dhabi for the first time.
