Cristiano Ronaldo has been charged by the English FA for “improper and/or violent conduct” for the incident at Goodison Park at the end of last season. After a disappointing game, the 37-year-old appeared to have smashed the phone of a young fan while going back from the pitch.
The matter was also attended to by the police, and concluded in August, with the player receiving a caution. And now, the FA has revisited the matter which could see the player charged with a fine or a suspension.
