Cristiano Ronaldo: Why Al Nassr Star Steps Onto Pitch With Right Foot First

• An explanation has been offered as to why Cristiano Ronaldo steps onto the pitch with his right foot
• A series of videos show the five-time Ballon d'Or winner taking to the pitch with his strong foot first
• Ronaldo is still in top shape for Al-Nassr as he seeks to captain Portugal at Euro 2024 in Germany

An interesting theory has been floated about Cristiano Ronaldo's mannerisms, which recently came to light despite the forward playing for over 20 years.

Ronaldo, currently with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, is still going strong at 39 years, having led a glorious career in four top-flight leagues in Europe.

He is undoubtedly one of the best goal scorers and players to ever grace the football pitch. Fans are, however, only realising why the Portuguese icon always steps onto the pitch with his right foot first.

Why Ronaldo always steps on the pitch with his right foot

A Portugal fan, Jessica Andres, has come out to dispel notions of it being a superstition, claiming that leading with the right foot is part of the country's culture.

"The right one thing isn't superstition. It's a Portuguese culture 'entra com a direita' meaning 'enter with the right'. And it's pretty common in other countries too, such as Spain, India, Indonesia, Italy, Greece, Brazil, Russia, Asian countries, and Muslim countries," she said as quoted by GMS.

Before he joined Al-Nassr, Statbunker reported that he scored 474 right-footed goals compared to 129 with his perceived weaker foot.

Arsenal and Manchester City will battle it out on the final day for the 2023/2024 honours. The latter leads the table with two points.

The defending champions need to beat West Ham at the Etihad to retain the title for a fourth consecutive time, irrespective of what Arsenal does when they play Everton at the Emirates.
