That was cold, Sadio Mane! Early Cristiano Ronaldo penalty goal celebration revealed as ex-Liverpool star had complete confidence in Al-Nassr team-mate

Portuguese superstar CR7 took responsibility from the spot during a 3-1 derby victory over arch-rivals Al-Hilal. Ronaldo’s composure from 12 yards allowed Al-Nassr to wrap up the points against cross-city foes in Riyadh.

Said strike was Ronaldo’s second of the game and came two minutes from the end. The 40-year-old all-time great is moving ever closer to hitting his target of reaching 1,000 career goals - with retirement seemingly some way off for now.

Ex-Liverpool forward Mane was never in any doubt that Ronaldo would hit the net against Al-Hilal. Before his team-mate had even struck his penalty, the Senegal international was already on his knees in celebration - with Al-Nassr saying: “That was cold, Mane! So cold!”

Evergreen Ronaldo has once again reached the 30-goal mark in the 2024-25 campaign. He boasts the full support of those around him in the Middle East, with major silverware still up for grabs in the AFC Champions League - before chasing down another Nations League crown with Portugal this summer.
