The fivefold Ballon d’Or, Cristiano Ronaldo is once again in the center of attention. This, not only for scoring a super free kick.
The member of the Saudi club, Al Nassr FC had towards one of his teammates, a classy gesture that moved the web.
Indeed, at the very end of the game, Al Nassr got a penalty and Cristiano Ronaldo did not shoot. He let Talisca give the victory to his people.
The Portuguese preferred to leave the winning ball to Talisca. The former Benfica player did not shake (86th) and thus offered victory to Al-Nassr.
This classy gesture was hailed by Internet users. Thanks to this success, the Riyadh team retains second place in the standings, one point behind Al-Ittihad after 21 days (out of 30).
Note that the five-time Ballon d’Or, 38, has been recalled to the Portugal national team for the qualifying matches for Euro 2024.
Portugal coach Roberto Martinez says Portugal still needs Cristiano Ronaldo. The latter is also the world record holder for the number of goals in selection (118).
Portugal will face Liechtenstein on Thursday March 23 in Lisbon and then travel to Luxembourg on March 26.
