Bizarre moment Sadio Mane appears to remind Cristiano Ronaldo to perform iconic celebration after CR7 sets new record

CRISTIANO RONALDO bizarrely had to be told by Sadio Mane to do his iconic celebration after scoring again for Al-Nassr. CR7 bagged his second of the season in a 2-1 comeback win over Al-Taawoun on Friday – and forgot his trademark jump and ‘Sui.’ NINTCHDBPICT001104108810 Credit: x NINTCHDBPICT001104108805 Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk But Mane, always alert, didn’t miss a trick, running over to tell Ronaldo to hit his famous cele. Ronaldo, who spent the summer at the World Cup with Portugal, was getting instructions from new boss Ange Postecoglou and taking on a drink after his close range flick.

The former Liverpool forward put his arm over Ronaldo’s shoulder and patted his head. Then he appears to let Ronny know he had left out the celebration. So Ronaldo sprinted away, leapt into the air and gave a massive fist pump as the crowd cheered and shouted SUI. Ronaldo initially gave a muted celebration as his team-mates were left confused over a possible offside. He went straight to the bench, shaking his hands and pointing to his eyes, potentially uncertain if the goal would stand.

His goal, which secured a fourth successive win for Al-Nassr to start the campaign, was also another record-breaker. As Ronaldo chases down 1,000 career goals, he became Al-Nassr’s all-time top Saudi Pro League scorer. He now has 125 for the club, overtaking legend Mohammed Al-Sahlawi. Those have come in just 145 games and three-and-a-half years. Al-Sahlawi, for comparison, played 263 matches and spent 10 seasons with the side. He tucked home five minutes into the second half to give Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr the lead at home. Mohamed Simakan‘s effort was heading goalwards when Ronaldo diverted in. That completed a turnaround after Bassam Al-Hurayji had given Al-Taawoun a surprise lead. Samu Costa equalised just before the break. This all came a few days after Ronaldo was left fuming at being hooked by Postecoglou when 2-0 down away at Al-Ettifaq. Ronaldo was subbed off at half-time with the team down to 10-men and trailing 1-0. They were soon further behind but mounted a stunning late comeback without their talisman. Ronaldo spread his arms out wide in protest at the decision but made up for it here. And Ronaldo opened up on his latest achievement at full-time, saying: “I’m very, very happy. “It’s a great achievement, but it’s not just Cristiano’s achievement. “I have to say thank you to my teammates, because without them, this wouldn’t have been possible. “But I’m also very happy for the fans. “They support me all the time, and I’m very proud of that. Thank you.” Comment now
