After just 19 minutes, Ronaldo broke the deadlock against the Moroccan side, unleashing a first-time strike with his weaker left foot from the edge of the box to secure an early lead for his team, Goal reported.

As the five-time Ballon d'Or winner sprinted towards the corner flag in jubilation, Mane quickly joined him in performing his iconic 'Siuuu' celebration at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium.

Then, as the Al-Nassr players walked back to their half to restart the game, footage on Twitter caught the away fans loudly chanting 'Ronaldo, Ronaldo'.

The Real Madrid and Manchester United legend was seen reacting passionately to the fans who sang his name.

After the match, a group of Raja Casablanca players reportedly gathered to await the veteran Portuguese, hoping to capture some pics with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Ronaldo's enduring impact on the game have continued to make him a source of admiration and inspiration for players and fans alike.
