The ex Juve took center stage in the Asian Champions League match between Al-Nassr and Persepolis.
A champion is not only recognized by great plays or records, as Cristiano Ronaldo would say. The Portuguese player indeed stood out for a remarkable display of sportsmanship during the match between Al-Nassr and Persepolis in the Asian Champions League.
Ronaldo’s Champion Move
Just two minutes into the game, the referee awarded a penalty to Ronaldo for a supposed foul by Soroush Rafiei inside the box, which did not actually occur. The defender attempted a sliding tackle but pulled back his leg, avoiding any contact with Ronaldo, who, nevertheless, tumbled to the ground.
Despite the referee’s mistaken decision, CR7 himself rushed towards the official, shouting, “No penalty,” “It’s not a penalty.” At that moment, the referee had no choice but to overturn his initial call. This gesture gains even more significance considering the match ended in a 0-0 draw, with the home team reduced to ten players due to Al-Oujami’s expulsion.”
