Cristiano Ronaldo has demanded lifetime bans for fans who chanted the name of late Diogo Jota during a match. Jota, a former Liverpool player, passed away in a car accident last year at the age of 28. He was a close friend and former teammate of Ruben Neves, who appeared to be targeted by fans during Al-Hilal's 6-0 win over Al-Taawoun.

Ronaldo, who now plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, expressed his disgust on social media and called for the league to take action. He emphasized that such behavior is unacceptable and should not be tolerated. Neves, now wearing Jota's former number 21 shirt, has a tattoo of the pair embracing. Following the match, Neves warned the fans that he hopes they do not attend future events after their actions.
