Ronaldo Calls for Lifetime Bans After Jota Chants Directed at Neves

Cristiano Ronaldo has called for lifetime stadium bans for fans who directed chants referencing the late Diogo Jota at Rúben Neves during a Saudi Pro League match between Al-Taawoun and Al-Hilal in Buraydah. Neves, a close friend of Jota and a pallbearer at his funeral, was subjected to the chants on Saturday. The incident puts pressure on the Saudi Pro League to take a firm public stance on discriminatory and abusive supporter conduct.
