The Catalan club and their fans have been reported by Spain's Football League authority (LFP) after the Portuguese was targeted during the game against Levante on Sunday

Barcelona and their supporters face punishment after they were reported on Tuesday for repeated derogatory chants against Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo during Sunday's 5-0 win over Levante at Camp Nou.

According to a report compiled by Spain's Professional Football League authority (LFP), supporters in the south stand at Camp Nou repeatedly chanted "He is a drunk, Cristiano is a drunk!" in the 65th minute of the game, in reference to the Portuguese's controversial celebration of his 30th birthday the previous Saturday in Madrid.

"A group of approximately 200 people identified with scarves, banners and flags from supporters' groups of the local club and in particular, the group known as ALMOGAVERS, located behind the banner identifying that group, started singing the following song: "He is a drunk, Cristiano is a drunk!," the LFP revealed in a statement on their website, adding that the chant was carried out "repeatedly" and "exclusively" by those fans while others were well-behaved.

The details of the report, which also cites abusive chanting in the Sevilla-Cordoba and Albacete-Betis clashes, have been passed on to Anti-violence and Competition Committees, which could choose to fine both Barca and the fans in question for their behaviour on Sunday.

Ronaldo has long insisted he does not drink alcohol, but was pictured looking worse for wear at his birthday party on February 7, just hours after Madrid had lost 4-0 to Atletico in a disappointing derby defeat at the Vicente Calderon.

It was the same thing when Eto gave us that legendary chant. So if it's us we can't chant at all, but other clubs in lfp are allowed to chant all they want?!

If English fans can do it, (I'm not implying all of them does it) then so can we. The south stand fans should be praised for giving such a good atmosphere instead! Plus it is just saying Ronaldo is drunk...

What a suprise. 'Messi subnormal' still non existent though.

Just a quick google search gives you some chants that are as bad.

Decent read on Ronaldo here, the man needs more service.

 

[NotInHere]

he's becoming more and more like a role player rather than the superstar of the team that's the decisive key factor for his teams sucess.

This is not a good look for Cristiano. In training laughing at and making fun of 39 year old Manuel Pablo after his elastico last Saturday. Not very nice.

 

[KingMessi]

It's not like we didn't know that he was a grade A douchebag.

Do an elastico vs a 39 year old they said

It will be your only relevant action in 90 minutes they never said

 

[Alarcón]

LOL so he has done 1 trick this entire year (which lead to nothing obviously) and he's still bragging about it like a 12-yo child. What a moron.

 

[KingMessi]

Fun fact, Manuel Pablo has as many La Liga and CDR titles as Cristiano.

You know, the Camp Nou fans had the right idea--Cristiano is drunk. Drunk on his fame and reputation.

Chiringuito cunts had the indecency and poor taste to show Manuel Pablo the video of Cristiano making fun of him and ask his opinion, to his credit he made light of it and said it bothers him more to have lost than for someone to do tricks on him. Then the narrator says Manuel Pablo has earned "respect in football". yeah, someone should tell Cristiano this.
