Cristiano Ronaldo's absence from the match against the 'Istiqlol' team in the AFC Champions League sparked great interest among football fans. When the 'Al-Nassr' club announced the squad for the match, the name of the Portuguese star was not included. This led to various speculations and questions among many fans.
According to 'RMC Sport', Ronaldo's decision not to travel to Iran is related to an incident that occurred in 2023. At that time, the famous footballer had expressed gratitude to a disabled Iranian fan who drew pictures with his feet, hugging and kissing him. However, according to Iranian law, such behavior towards a woman who is not a spouse is considered inappropriate. Such an act can be deemed adultery, and the punishment could be imprisonment or 99 lashes.
For this reason, it is speculated that Ronaldo did not travel to Tehran for safety reasons. This controversial situation may affect his participation not only in this match but also in other matches in Iran.
It is worth noting that previously Ronaldo was also not included in the squad for the match against the 'Persepolis' club. This further complicates the issue of his participation in matches in Iran.
Such situations are rare in the football world, but Ronaldo's fans hope for his safety and full participation in future games. The 'Al-Nassr' team has not officially commented on this situation.
