THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He offered a nod to Real’s all-time leading scorer when rolling home against City, with Ronaldo’s ‘calma’ routine rolled out before then going full ‘Siuuu’ mode in front of jubilant supporters. Rodrygo has said of emulating CR7: “Celebrating like Cristiano Ronaldo? I always watch his videos, I watch him before the match too to inspire me, as I always say, he is my role model, he is my hero.”</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The CR7 effect 😤 <a href="https://t.co/oa3sAgqvhB">pic.twitter.com/oa3sAgqvhB</a></p>— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1777785336988360766?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 9, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT RODRYGO SAID

<p>Rodrygo never got the chance to play alongside Ronaldo, as he moved to Spain in 2019 – a year after the five-time Ballon d’Or winner had left for Juventus. He is, however, a big fan of the Portuguese superstar and will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rodrygo-too-good-real-madrid-odd-man-out-kylian-mbappe-endrick-arrive/blt972a39e43c61d5e6" target="_blank">hope to have many more goals to celebrate in the coming weeks</a> as he chases down more major honours.</p>
