Cristiano Ronaldo could be banned for TWO games after hitting back at fans chanting Lionel Messi's name at him by pulling out Diego Simeone's crude celebration.
With Al Nassr locked in a title race in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo's side claimed a last-gasp victory as Talisca scored in the 86th minute.

It saw them claim all three points against Al Shabab, who had equalised twice before through former Atletico Madrid star Yannick Carrasco and Carlos.
The Daily Mail reports that following an investigation Ronaldo has been slapped with a two-game suspension, although nothing has been confirmed.
Throughout the match, Ronaldo had been jeered at by the home fans at the Al Shabab FC Stadium, including chants of 'Lionel Messi', his old Ballon d'Or rival rival.
So as Talisca ran off to celebrate his late goal, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner had his own method - by pelvic thrusting at the crowd.

It was remarkably similar to Atletico boss Simeone's celebration when the Madrid side went 2-0 up against Juventus in the Champions League in 2019 in the first leg, which became as the 'cojones' celebration, a Spanish colloquial term for 'balls'.
Ronaldo, who was playing for Juve at the time, struck back at the Argentine manager though weeks later when they met in the second leg.
With Simeone's celebrations on his mind, Ronaldo scored an incredible hat-trick to overturn a first-leg deficit and win the tie 3-2.
The Portugal international mimicked Simeone by turning to the crowd and performing the same celebration. Both were fined by UEFA as a result of the lewd gestures, both landing fines of €20,000 for improper conduct.
