Ronaldo did not go to the match against "Istiqlal" because of the controversial incident in Iran

Cristiano Ronaldo's absence from the Asian Champions League match against Istiklol has sparked a lot of interest among football fans. When Al-Nasr announced the roster for the match, the Portuguese star's name was not on it. This has led to various speculations and questions among many fans.

According to RMC Sport, Ronaldo's absence from Iran is related to an incident that occurred in 2023. At that time, the famous footballer thanked a disabled Iranian fan who was drawing with his feet, hugged him and kissed him. However, according to Iranian law, such behavior towards a woman who is not his spouse is unacceptable. This is considered adultery and can be punished with imprisonment or 99 lashes.

It is believed that Ronaldo did not travel to Tehran for security reasons. This controversial situation may affect his participation not only in this match, but also in other matches in Iran.

It is worth recalling that Ronaldo was previously not included in the roster for the match against Persepolis. This further complicates the issue of his participation in matches in Iran.

Such situations are rare in the world of football, but Ronaldo's fans hope for his safety and full participation in future matches. The Al-Nasr team has not officially commented on the situation. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
