Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for two matches, fined £50,000 and given a warning for breaching an FA rule by slapping a mobile phone out of a boy's hand following a match earlier this year
A statement released by the FA said:"The forward admitted that his conduct after the final whistle of the Premier League game between Manchester United FC and Everton FC on Saturday 9 April 2022 was improper.
"An independent Regulatory Commission found that his conduct was both improper and violent during a subsequent hearing, and imposed these sanctions." The independent Regulatory Commission said the player could have simply ignored or walked around the spectator, who"posed no actual or perceived threat".
Sanctions were deemed appropriate since the incident was"a deliberate and forceful slap down","petulant","caused damage... and reddening to the spectator's hand", and"the victim was a child" - aggravated by the fact that Ronaldo is a very high-profile footballer whose conduct was witnessed by many people.
The ban will still apply when Ronaldo joins a new club in any country but it does not apply to the World Cup.
