Now, the president of the Spanish football league (LFP) Javier Tebas has said the following regarding Ronaldo’s provocative celebration.
“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,” Tebas said. “It must be sanctioned, from a fine up to a suspension. We will look into it.”
