Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is now reportedly facing calls to be arrested and deported from Saudi Arabia following his recent controversial behaviour.
The Portuguese superstar once again made the headlines earlier this week, when he grabbed his genitals in response to Al Hilal fans taunting him with chants Lionel Messi's name following his team's 2-0 loss on Tuesday.

A lot of criticism has been aimed at the 38-year-old for the gesture since, with it believed to have caused major offence in the Gulf state in the holy month of Ramadan.
Al Nassr have reportedly suggested that Ronaldo was suffering with a groin issue as an explanation for why he put his hand to his crotch area as he walked off the pitch.
However, lawyer Nouf bin Ahmed has now revealed he will petition the Saudi Public Ministry for the forward to be reprimanded heavily for his action.
"Cristiano's conduct is a crime," the lawyer said, per AS.
"A publicly indecent act, which is one of the crimes required for arrest and deportation if committed by a foreigner."
The lawyer also had a complaint about the striker's WWE-style tackle, which he received a yellow card for, on Gustavo Cuellar in the same match (see tweet below), with some feeling the former Manchester United forward should have been sent off for it.
"What was observed in the Al Nassr party. Specifically, Cristiano's is a misdemeanour," Bin Ahmed added.
"An attack by Cristiano against an Al Hilal player is not related to the duel due to sports custom.
“It should be noted that Cristiano is known for his balance.
"What is the reason for the change in his behaviour and his tendency to aggression after joining Al Nassr?"
