The Al-Nassr player proved in the Asian Champions League AFC on Monday evening that Cristiano Ronaldo not only pushes his crazy statistics to ever-dizzying heights, but is also an athlete through and through.
In the duel between the Saudi Arabian club and the top Iranian club Persepolis, referee Ning Ma from China had already awarded a penalty in the second minute after Ronaldo went down in the penalty area.
When the Iranian players protested violently, the Portuguese superstar went to the referee and indicated with a movement of his right index finger that he had not been fouled.
Ning Ma looked at the scene again in the review area and then actually reversed his decision.
Curious: While Ronaldo encouraged the referee to change his mind, Al-Nassr coach Luis Castro complained vehemently to the fourth official.
The 38-year-old is the player with the most first division goals in football history. After his two goals, the striker has 527 goals, more than Josef “Pepi” Bican and Ferenc Puskás.
Against Persepolis, Ronaldo, Sadio Mané and Co. ended up with a 0-0 draw after the home team had to play outnumbered from the 17th minute onwards following a red card for Ali Lajami.
CR7 was substituted in the 78th minute with a painful neck injury after the opposing goalkeeper landed badly on him.
The point was enough for Al Nassr to secure a place in the knockout rounds as group winners. Meanwhile, Ronaldo has little time to recover as Al Nassr face Al Hilal in a top league game on Friday.
