Real Madrid striker, Cristiano Ronaldo stands the chance of being sanctioned for his goal celebration when he scored the equaliser in Sunday’s La Liga ‘El Clasico’ at Camp Nou, the president of Spanish professional football league (LFP) said.
Ronaldo, after netting against Barcelona, appeared to be urging Barca fans to calm down after equalising 1-1 in the 31st minute.
The Portugal captain, regularly the subject of abuse himself, has gained a reputation for winding up opposing fans and was widely criticised when he tore off his shirt to celebrate his successful penalty in last season’s Champions League final victory over Atletico Madrid
‘We have to be careful with provocative gestures by a player when he scores a goal or with any other provocation or conduct that could incite violence among spectators,’ LFP president Javier Tebas told reporters on Tuesday.
‘It must be sanctioned, from a fine up to a suspension,’ he added. ‘We will look into it.’
Following the death of a Deportivo La Coruna fan in fighting before a La Liga game in November, Spain’s soccer authorities are seeking to crack down on any action by players or supporters that may be construed as provocative.
Ronaldo will hear from the LFP body before Real Madrid face Granada next weekend when European club football action is expected to resume after the international break.
