Portuguese star secured narrow winCombined famous celebrationsLooking to savour continental gloryWHAT HAPPENED?

The Portuguese icon is accustomed to being the star of any given show, with his glittering track record proving that he can always be relied upon to deliver when it matters most. That was the case once again as Al-Nassr claimed a narrow 1-0 lead in the first leg of their latest continental last-16 encounter.

Ronaldo made the difference in that contest, as he registered the only goal of the game in the 81st minute. He went on to break out a new celebration – one which combines the leap of his famous ‘Siuuu’ routine, while adding in the crossing of hands over his chest that has become synonymous with his “sleeping” ritual.

WHAT RONALDO SAID

Ronaldo’s dramatic winner, which was prodded into the top corner from six yards out, has ensured that he makes more headlines around the world. He has, however, been quick to hail collective efforts in a social media post. CR7 has said: “Kicking off the round of 16 with a win! Good work, team!”

Al-Nassr will be back in Saudi Pro League action on Saturday, when they play host to Al Fateh, before taking in the return leg of their Champions League clash with Al Feiha next Wednesday – with Ronaldo looking to chase down another major honour.
