Football“Allah Is the Greatest”: Ronaldo Ditches 'Siuu' Celebration, Worships Allah After Scoring Winner
- Cristiano Ronaldo ditched his trademark 'Siuu' celebration after netting the match-winner
- The five-time Ballon d'Or winner gave credit to Allah following his dramatic goal
- He now has 14 goals after 15 matches in the Saudi Pro League
Cristiano Ronaldo waxed spiritual following his match-winning goal for Al-Nassr in their dramatic comeback win against Al-Shabab.
Ronaldo netted what would be the eventual winning goal for the Knights of Nahd, sealing a 3-2 win in an exciting five-goal thriller on Tuesday night.
But it was Al-Shabab that drew first blood through Argentine midfielder, Cristian Guanca. He doubled the lead to worsen the plight of Al-Nassr as the visitors threatened to dent the title ambitions of the home side.
But on the stroke of half-time, Anderson Talisca pulled one back before Abdulrahman Ghareeb netted the equalizer. Cristiano then added the cherry on the cake with a breathtaking match-winner, his 14th goal in 15 league appearances.
However, his gesture after the goal has since gone viral. The 38-year-old ditched his signature 'Siuu' celebration to bow to Allah, an act purposely done with the intention of worshipping in Islamic tenets.
