Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best footballers in the world, but when he's not scoring spectacular goals on the pitch, he's playing his second-favourite sport or singing along to Rihanna's songs.

A video of the Al-Nassr star singing Stay by Rihanna has emerged. The veteran footballer is currently away with the Portugal national team ahead of their 2024 European Championships qualifiers.

In a video that has been spotted on social media, Ronaldo was seen unashamedly trying to hit all the high notes to impress his teammates during their flight, per USA Today.

The video was a snippet from a documentary and from the hand gestures and facial expressions, the Portuguese veteran was giving it his best.

After that powerful rendition, he received a standing ovation from his teammates, who seemed to enjoy the performance of their best player. Maybe he could transition to singing after football.

Break down of Ronaldo's international goals

In related news, Sports Brief took a closer look at all of Ronaldo's 123 goals for Portugal.

In August 2003, he made his first appearance for the Selecao against Kazakhstan in an international friendly match. He came on for the great Rui Costa at half-time.

The Al-Nassr striker scored his first goal for Portugal in a 1-2 loss against Greece in the 2004 European Championship and went on to score 123 goals for his country in 201 appearances.

That is a record in international football, per UEFA.

Ronaldo performs Saudi traditional dance

Sports Brief also reported on Ronaldo showcasing his appreciation for Saudi culture by performing a traditional dance after scoring two goals for Al-Nassr in their SPL match against Al-Shabab.

The Portuguese veteran and captain, who has been in excellent goal-scoring form since the start of the new season, played a key role in the Knights of Najd's dominant win at home at Al-Awwal Park.

Following his successful penalty, Ronaldo momentarily set aside his signature 'Siuuu' celebration and other newer styles in favour of showcasing Saudi Arabian culture by showing his dance skills.
