Barcelona face investigation over Ronaldo song
Madrid: The anti-violence committee of the La Liga (LFP) has decided to open a case against FC Barcelona as the result of a song insulting Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
The song, which was sung by a sector of the crowd during Barcelona’s 5-0 thrashing of Levante Sunday was “He’s a drunk, Cristiano is a drunk”. The song was in clear reference to Ronaldo’s infamous 30th birthday party which was held just a matter of hours after Real had lost to Atletico Madrid the previous weekend, as per reports.
The La Liga observer in the ground said he had heard, “the intonation of a song in a sports stadium in the 65th minute of the game and from a group of supporters following the home team — a group of approximately 200 people”.
“The fans initiated the following song ‘He’s a drunk, Cristiano is a drunk’ in reference to the Real Madrid players, Cristiano Ronaldo in a choral, coordinated and repetitive manner,” the committee’s report revealed Tuesday.
Barcelona could now face a fine for the song, while anyone identified as having taken part in the singing probably faces a fine and a probable stadium ban.
This is part of the crackdown on fan behaviour in the wake of the death of a radical supporter of Deportivo la Coruna in a fight against Atletico Madrid radicals ahead of the game between the two sides Nov 30 last year.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
