Wrexham AFC’s showdown with Cristiano Ronaldo

On the RobRyanRed – Wrexham AFC podcast, former Red Dragons striker Jake Hyde, who currently plies his trade with Yeovil Town in the National League, disclosed a mesmerizing episode involving Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo. While discussing the closed-door encounter between Manchester United and Wrexham AFC, Hyde detailed an excerpt that left all the Wrexham players surprised and stunned. The incident revolved around a Wrexham defender, Aaron Hayden, emulating Ronaldo’s famous ‘Siuuu’ celebration. “There was a story that Aaron Hayden pulled the Ronaldo celebration out when he scored,” the podcast host asked.

Hyde confirmed this intriguing fact, adding that Ronaldo himself was a firsthand witness to the moment. “That’s a fact I can confirm. Ronaldo, who stood there watching the game just at the side, witnessed this himself. And, as done what he [Aaron Hayden] does, he got above someone from a corner, and scored, just after one minute. He ran off into the corner sprinting off and all the boys were jogging behind him, and congratulating him”.

“He ran out the corner, and he went ‘Siuuu!,’ and all the boys were like ‘Oh my god! What have I just seen?’, and he was like buzzing with himself, and so happy. So, yes, one of the most mental things I’ve witnessed,” Jake Hyde confessed.

This remarkable incident is a testament to the magic of soccer, where even a League Two club like Wrexham AFC can share an unforgettable moment with a legend like Cristiano Ronaldo. It also points to the mammoth impact that soccer legends like CR7 have on the game.
