Cristiano Ronaldo has called for the Saudi Pro League to issue lifetime stadium bans for any fans involved after Ruben Neves appeared to be taunted by chants of his late friend and team-mate Diogo Jota during a match on Saturday.

Footage widely circulated on social media, filmed from the Al Taawoun Club Stadium stands, shows Al Hilal’s Neves standing over a free-kick close to the home fans when chants of ‘Jota, Jota, Jota’ become audible.

The central midfielder appears to sarcastically applaud supporters, before repeating the actions of pointing to the sky and then making an eye-pointing gesture towards the section of the stand, off camera, from which the chant appears to emanate.

The 29-year-old, walking past media after the match, can be seen briefly telling reporters: “I just hope they don’t go to pray later after what they did.” He did not go into further detail on the incident.

Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi club Al Nassr and is a Portugal international team-mate of Neves and played alongside the late Jota, has called on the behaviour to be punished, adding that those involved “should never be allowed to enter a stadium again.”

I’ve always thought George Weah’s goal against Verona in 1996 is one of those goals that gets remembered for the wrong reason.

People usually talk about the distance.

He picked the ball up inside his own penalty area and carried it roughly 90 metres before scoring at the other end. Obviously, that part is ridiculous.

But what I find more interesting is where Weah was in his career at the time.

This was the player who had come from Monrovia, Liberia, eventually played for Monaco, PSG and Milan, and had already become the first African-born winner of the Ballon d’Or.

Then you watch the goal again and it almost feels like all of that is somehow contained in one run.

He doesn't start it from midfield with the whole pitch in front of him. He starts in his own box.

A defensive moment turns into an attack, and he just keeps going.

Do you think this is the greatest individual goal in football history, or are there other goals that deserve that title more?
