Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in quick succession against Al Akhdoud as Al Nassr continued their title fight. Apart from his goalscoring prowess, his sense of humor is also making headlines. The soccer icon confused Sadio Mane with Al Akhdoud winger Saviour Godwin. This happened during the shirt exchange at the end of the game. All three players shared a laugh and took it positively. The clip clearly showcases that Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying his time in the Middle East.
This is not the first time an Al Nassr player has confused a rival player with his own teammate. In fact, Sadio Mane himself also confused an opposition player as his own teammate during his early days at the club. In that situation, it was even more perplexing, as the Senegalese veteran was trapped between recognizing the two twins.
