The English Football Association has suspended former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo two games with a fine for slapping a fan’s phone out of his hand after a game in April.

The FA released a statement on Wednesday after having an "independent Regulatory Commission" do an investigation into the incident.

"Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for two matches, fined £50,000 and warned as to his future conduct for a breach of FA Rule E3," the statement reads.

"The Regulatory Commission found that his conduct was both improper and violent during a subsequent hearing, and imposed these sanctions."

The FA also noted that Ronaldo also believed his actions following the April 9 game against Everton FC was "improper."

The 37-year-old Portuguese superstar knocked the phone out of a young fan’s hand because he thought the fan was filming his bloody leg, which was injured in the disappointing loss. He claimed it was an act of safety.

But the suspension clearly says otherwise and Ronaldo admitted to his actions being wrong.

Ronaldo publicly apologized via Instagram to the fan after the video of the incident went viral.

"I would like to apologize for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship," he wrote.

"It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing. Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game."

Just before Ronaldo’s Portugal begins their 2022 FIFA World Cup journey in Qatar on Thursday, Manchester United announced Tuesday that both parties have parted ways, which comes after a controversial interview with Piers Morgan where the six-time Ballon d’Or Award winner criticized Manchester United, saying he felt "betrayed" as senior officials allegedly were trying to force him out of the building. He also mentioned having "no respect" for head coach Erik ten Hag.

Now, Ronaldo’s focus is on his national team in what could be his last World Cup.

"The pressure is more or less the same as always," Ronaldo said about his Portugal team. "I have been dealing with it since a very young age. Sometimes I do it well, sometimes I don’t. It depends on the situation, moment and heat. I am not perfect, but I feel ready to take on the pressure when I have to."

A team interested in picking up Ronaldo – and there should be a few – will have to account for that suspension when bringing him into the building.

A St. Paul, Minnesota, man who drove a car into a group of Minneapolis protesters in June 2021, killing one person, was sentenced on Wednesday to 20 years in prison.

In October, Nicholas Kraus pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and second-degree murder for killing Deona Marie Knajdek during the incident.

Kraus faced a third charge of second-degree assault, which prosecutors dropped as part of the plea deal.

Kraus was charged for an incident in which he accelerated toward a parked car that was used as a barricade on the street where demonstrators protested the law enforcement killing of Winston Boogie Smith, Jr.

He then struck the parked car, pushing it into the protesters, killing Knajdek and injuring three others.

Fox station KMSP in Minneapolis reported that Kraus admitted in court in October that he drove into the barricades and crowd on purpose.

Under questioning, he also admitted to suffering from a mental health issue and being under the influence of narcotics at the time of the crash. What he could not say, though, was what drove him to do it and why.

Before sentencing on Wednesday, Kraus told the court it "should have been me" who died that day, while expressing support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Kraus told the courts he made a bad choice that day and that he deserved the maximum sentence of 21 years in prison.

Although he said he did not expect the family to forgive him, Kraus apologized to the family.

A victim in the incident told the courts he disagreed with the plea deal and wanted Kraus to be served the maximum sentence.

Ultimately, the court sentenced Kraus to 45 months, or 3.75 years, in prison for second-degree assault and 240 months, or 20 years, for second-degree murder. Both sentences will run concurrently, meaning the most he will serve is 20 years.
