sport news Cristiano Ronaldo swaps red card rage for beach tranquility as Al-Nassr ... trends now
Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted relaxing on the beach - just days after he was sent off for violent conduct.
Ronaldo, 39, lost his head on Monday evening during Al-Nassr's Saudi Super Cup semi-final defeat by Al-Hilal, with the veteran superstar appearing to elbow and stamp on an opponent - before then inexplicably raising his fist towards the referee.
Al-Nassr were 2-0 down at the time of Ronaldo's 86th minute dismissal, with the Real Madrid legend involved in a clash with Ali Al-Bulayhi.
Sadio Mane scored a 99th minute consolation, but Al-Nassr crashed out following Ronaldo's antics on what was a hugely frustrating evening.

Another clip then appeared to show Ronaldo stamping on an already downed Al- Bulayhi– but the advertising boards obstructed the view, making it unclear whether Ronaldo made contact with the player.
