“He Shouted at Me” – Moments After Al Nassr Win, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Wholesome Gesture Praised by $2,430,000 Rival From Saudi Pro League

In the scorching heat of Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo once again proved why he is a living legend. The latest episode of his heroics unfolded during Al Nassr’s recent clash against Al-Taee in the Saudi Pro League. With the match hanging in the balance, Ronaldo came to the rescue, netting an 87th-minute penalty that secured a 2-1 victory for his team. However, what followed this dramatic late winner is a heartwarming tale that has captured the hearts of football fans worldwide.

The Al-Taee winger and Romanian National team player, Andrei Cordea, was the one who witnessed Cristiano Ronaldo’s gracious gesture after the match. Cordea had a unique request as the final whistle blew, which led Ronaldo to respond in a touching manner.

A wholesome exchange between Cristiano Ronaldo and his opponent

During the Al-Nassr’s match against Al-Taee, as the halftime break arrived, Cordea seized the opportunity to approach Ronaldo’s teammate and Al-Nassr’s defender Alex Telles. Cordea’s request was simple – he wanted the jersey of Cristiano Ronaldo after the match. Cordea’s determination was evident, as his plea reached the ears of Ronaldo.

However, the story takes an unexpected twist. Just moments before the Romanian forward could secure CR7’s jersey, fate intervened in the form of an 86th-minute penalty goal that put Al Nassr in the lead. Disheartened by conceding a late goal, Cordea directly retreated to the dressing room.

Yet, what followed demonstrated the true essence of sportsmanship and camaraderie. As reported by Antena Sports, Cordea was speaking to the Romanian media upon his arrival home from Saudi Arabia, he revealed that Ronaldo called him out by shouting his name, and offered words of encouragement while exchanging their jerseys. “I was upset because I conceded a penalty goal in the 86th minute. I went to the dressing room and he shouted at me,” Cordea said.

“When I came back, he told me to give him the shirt. We both gave each other the shirt, wished each other good luck, and I said ‘Don’t leave it at the stadium, I’d rather give it to the kids in the stands.’ He told me it was for his children. He probably won’t give it to the kids, but it’s a huge card,” Cordea added.
