The decision was taken due to Ronaldo’s violent conduct after the game against Everton on Saturday, April 9th, 2022.
Recall that Ronaldo was seen reacting aggressively and smashing one supporter’s phone as he exited the pitch following the 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park back in April 2022.

The boy’s mother claimed he was bruised as a result of the tragic incident.
Ronaldo, on the other hand, apologized, but the boy’s mother declined. In her own words, “It’s like we owe him a favor, but we don’t. It’s in the hands of the police.”
