Ronaldo Demands Lifetime Bans After Fans Taunt Neves With Jota Chants
Cristiano Ronaldo has called for lifetime stadium bans after Al Taawoun fans chanted the name of late Portugal teammate Diogo Jota at Al Hilal midfielder Rúben Neves during a match. Neves, who inherited Jota’s national team number and shares a close personal bond with him, sarcastically applauded the crowd before walking past reporters to say he hoped they would not pray after their actions. The Saudi Pro League and football federation have condemned the behavior and opened an investigation, while both clubs issued statements rejecting the abuse. Ronaldo, who plays for rival Al Nassr, posted on Instagram that such conduct has no place in football and must be punished severely.
