Cristiano Ronaldo won hearts with his gesture during his side Al Nassr's clash versus&nbsp;Iranian side Persepolis in the AFC Champions League clash. The star striker went down in the second minute of the clash under a challenge from Persepolis defender Soroush Rafiei. He soon wagged his finger after being awarded a penalty kick and came in talks with the referee to try and overturn his decision.

Ronaldo and the Chinese referee Ma Ning had a quick chat. He was seen telling the referee that it was not a spot-kick and was heard saying 'no pen' (no penalty). Soon, the VAR check followed and the decision was ultimately overturned. His gesture was appreciated by his opposition players as many came towards him to laud his act.&nbsp;

Talking about the match, Al Nassr&nbsp;were already into the knockouts, and Persepolis played out a goalless draw. The Saudi Arabian side played the majority of the game with 10 players. In the 17th minute,&nbsp;Ali Lajami was given a straight red card for a shin-raking challenge whereas Ronaldo also walked out with a neck injury during the fag moments of the encounter.

AFC CL: Ronaldo convinces referee to overturn penalty he won during Al Nassr-Persepolis tie - Watch

Former Brazil legend Ronaldo Nazario has had his say in the Ballon d'Or battle between Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland. The Brazilian believes that Messi is the deserving winner of the award, especially after what he did in the World Cup last year.&nbsp;

The Ballon d'Or ceremony is scheduled to take place on Monday (Oct 30) next week at the Théatre du Châtelet in Paris, France and the race for the award is as close as ever.&nbsp;

"The Ballon d'Or should go to him [Lionel Messi], without a doubt. What Messi did in the World Cup was special. It reminded me of the campaigns of Pelé and Maradona," said Ronaldo.&nbsp;

A victory for the Argentine would mean he would collect his eighth Ballon d'Or, propelling him into rare pages of the history books. However, if Haaland lays his hands on the trophy, it would signify a passing of the baton moment.&nbsp;

Last week, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said he&nbsp;would love for Haaland to win the prestigious trophy but Messi was more likely to nick the Norwegian in the race.

"Haaland should win - Yes. We won the treble and he scored 50, I don't know, a million goals. But of course, if you tell me the worst Messi season? That's the best for the rest of the players. Both deserve it, what can I say?" he said.&nbsp;

"I want Haaland to have it because he helped us achieve what we achieved. But Messi won the World Cup. It’s good that players here are up for the award, it makes us so proud."

<h2>Haaland vs Messi&nbsp;</h2>

Haaland arrived in England last year and tore up the league, winning the Golden Boot and shattering the record for the most goals scored in a campaign, eclipsing Liverpool's Mo Salah. Haaland netted 52 goals and laid out nine assists in 53 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City last term.

Meanwhile, Messi, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, won the ultimate prize with Argentina when he fired his team to World Cup glory to conquer his final peak. Apart from the World Cup, Messi also won the Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 21 goals and assisting 20 in 40 appearances across all competitions.&nbsp;

Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has responded regarding his future in the sport. Quizzed by reporters if he will be playing in his 40s, Ronaldo, who recently secured Euro 2024 qualification for his side after a scintillating brace against Slovakia said he had not set any targets. “Things have happened in my life, both on a personal and professional level, that make me think more in the short term nowadays. People say I’m going to play on until I’m 40 or 41 years old. I don’t set these targets. It’s a question of just enjoying the moment, which is a good moment. I feel good," said Ronaldo. "My body is responding to how I’ve treated it over the years. I’m happy both at my club and in the Selecao. I’ve scored plenty of goals, I feel in good shape physically. It’s a question of enjoying the moment," he added. Also read | Cristiano Ronaldo could make his WWE debut ‘in some capacity’ at Crown Jewel show – Reports Ronaldo's 1,000 goal target Last week, Ronaldo scored in Portugal's 3-2 win, which took his goal tally with the national team to 125. After the match, it was revealed that Jorge Nuno Pinto, the president of FC Porto made a bet with Ronaldo to score 1,000 goals which the forward had immediately accepted. "It will be quite difficult, but it’s about my mindset and my motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them...We'll see, these are small steps. To get to 1,000, you first have to get to 900. I think I will get there," he said during the conversation. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who currently has 857 career goals said it was about enjoying the game and taking small steps at a time if he was to realise his ambitions. "It's about continuing. These are small steps that motivate me to continue playing. I feel very happy about that," said Ronaldo. "For the national team, I wanted to beat the record for goals and international caps. But I just want to keep enjoying it. I don't follow the records; they are the ones that follow me." Ronaldo is enjoying his football with the national team comes after a turbulent time during former manager Fernando Santos' tenure. During the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo was routinely benched by Santos as the Portuguese team made a timid quarterfinal exit at the marquee event.

Football: Ronaldo's Al-Nassr cannot register new players due to unpaid debts- FIFA

Cristiano Ronaldo-starrer Al-Nassr missed out on a chance to take the top spot in the Saudi Pro League&nbsp;with a 1-1 draw versus 14th-ranked Al-Khaleej on Monday (May 08). Hosting the Al-Khaleej, Ronaldo &amp; Co. were in for an early shock as they trailed 0-1, in the fourth minute, and while they came back strongly and levelled the scores in the 17th minute, they didn't dominate nor looked aggressive enough to force a result as the game ended in a dull draw.

After the 1-1 stalemate, Ronaldo once again made the headlines for his behaviour as he denied a selfie to an Al-Khaleej staff member and even pushed him away. The video of the incident has gone viral in no time. Here's the clip -&nbsp;

Cristiano Ronaldo-starrer Al-Nassr missed out on a chance to take the top spot in the Saudi Pro League with a 1-1 draw versus 14th-ranked Al-Khaleej on Monday (May 08). Hosting the Al-Khaleej, Ronaldo & Co. were in for an early shock as they trailed 0-1, in the fourth minute, and while they came back strongly and levelled the scores in the 17th minute, they didn't dominate nor looked aggressive enough to force a result as the game ended in a dull draw. After the 1-1 stalemate, Ronaldo once again made the headlines for his behaviour as he denied a selfie to an Al-Khaleej staff member and even pushed him away. The video of the incident has gone viral in no time.

Lionel Messi has been suspended by Paris Saint-Germain for two weeks after an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia. Messi's contract, which runs out in the summer, will reportedly not be renewed by the French Champions. Will the Argentine World Cup winner come to Saudi Arabia and renew his legendary rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo?

Messi vs Ronaldo again?

Cristiano Ronaldo's stint at Al-Nassr continues to make heads turn. While he has been on a goal-scoring spree for the Riyadh-based club, the Portugal star didn't have a great outing in his side's clash versus Al-Halil&nbsp;at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh early this month. While his side lost 2-0, Ronaldo was slammed for his WWE-inspired&nbsp;foul.

Ronaldo&nbsp;was&nbsp;found guilty of hauling Al-Halil's Gustavo Cuellar to the ground in a headlock and, surprisingly,&nbsp;escaped with a yellow card. After the team's loss, the rival fans tried to get under the skin of Ronaldo. They even chanted Lionel Messi's name to tease the Portuguese striker. While walking down the tunnel, it appeared as if&nbsp;Ronaldo&nbsp;grabbed his crotch and pointed it&nbsp;towards the fans.&nbsp;

Sharing the video, a Saudi lawyer has called for Ronaldo's deportation from the country for his indecent gesture for the Al-Halil fans.&nbsp;

Cristiano Ronaldo remained goalless for the third time in a row for Al-Nassr in the Riyadh-based club's 3-1 win over Abha as they qualified&nbsp;for the semi-finals of the King Cup of Champions. The home side started on the front foot from the word go and dominated proceedings to enter the knockouts. However, Ronaldo didn't have a pleasant outing as he remained goalless and also made heads turn for all the wrong reasons.

Ronaldo engaged in a war of words with the referee on several occasions during the game. When the referee blew for half-time, it wasn't received well by the Al-Nassr skipper as he blasted the ball into the stands and marched out of the ground. The video of the incident went viral in no time.

Portugal Captain Cristiano Ronaldo visits Riyadh to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. @ghadifrancis brings you all the details on this week's #TheWestAsiaPost

The West Asia Post: Al-Nassr's new hero Ronaldo in Riyadh

Cristiano Ronaldo has been officially unveiled as an Al Nassr player. The five-time world player of the year claims that his work in Europe is done and insisted that this is not the end of his career as a top-level footballer. He joined the club on a two and a half year deal.

Cristiano Ronaldo unveiled as Al Nassr player in Saudi Arabia's Riyadh

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo mistakenly called Saudi Arabia, the country where his new club Al Nassr are based, 'South Africa' in the news conference for his unveiling on Tuesday (January 3).

Watch: Ronaldo confuses 'South Africa' with 'Saudi Arabia' during Al Nassr news conference

Video footage released by Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr showed Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo arriving in Riyadh and greeting fans late Monday (January 2) after joining the club on a two-and-a-half-year contract. The 37-year-old Ronaldo is expected to be formally introduced by his new club at a news conference scheduled for Tuesday (January 3) after a medical exam. Ronaldo departed Old Trafford last month following an explosive television interview in which the forward said he felt betrayed by the club and did not respect their Dutch manager Erik ten Hag.

Al Nassr issued a statement saying the five-time Ballon D’or winner will join on a deal until 2025 but did not disclose any financial details. Ronaldo's contract has been estimated by media to be worth more than 200 million euros ($214.04 million). Ronaldo said Qatar would probably be his last World Cup as he plans to retire at 40, with a move to Saudi Arabia likely to mark the swansong in the career of one of the game's greatest current players alongside Lionel Messi.

The league's all-time top scorer, Majed Abdullah played for Al Nassr and has scored a total of 189 goals, with an average of striking a goal per game. The club was the second-most successful team in the league with nine titles. Their last win was in the 2018-19 season, only Al Hilal has won more titles than Al Nassr.

Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina, who previously played for Arsenal and Napoli, as well as former Brazil international and midfielder Luiz Gustavo are also in the squad.

<h2>Why Ronaldo joined the Al Nassr club?&nbsp;</h2>

Ronaldo was a free man after Manchester United terminated his contract following an explosive TV interview in which he criticised manager Erik ten Hag and the club's owners after being benched and even temporarily suspended by the club on multiple occasions.&nbsp;

He is also coming off a disappointing World Cup where he was benched in the knockout rounds and left the field in tears after Portugal lost in the quarterfinals to Morocco.

There were also reports that Cristiano Ronaldo waited for a call from Real Madrid before joining Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr.&nbsp;

The 37-year-old was spotted at the Real Madrid training ground after Portugal’s World Cup exit. And his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, had also left Old Trafford to go back to the club where his dad is the all-time top goalscorer. However, after waiting for 40 days, on Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo completed a lucrative move to the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.&nbsp;

<h2>What Ronaldo said about joining the Al Nassr club?</h2>

Ronaldo said in a statement that he was "eager to experience a new football league in a different country".&nbsp;

"I am fortunate that I have won everything I set out to win in European football and feel now that this is the right moment to share my experience in Asia", the forward added.

<h2>What Ronaldo can offer to the Al Nassr club?</h2>

Ronaldo has 819 goals to his name, having scored over 700 goals in club football and over 100 in international football. Despite United's struggles last season, an ageing Ronaldo demonstrated that he still had some fuel left in the tank by finishing top scorer with 24 goals, 18 of which came in the Premier League.&nbsp;

In Qatar, he became the first player to score in five World Cups but he soon lost his place in the starting lineup after Portugal reached the knockout stages. However, scoring goals has not been an issue for Al Nassr this season, as the team has a joint league-high 24 goals after 10 games, the same as leaders Al Shabab.

However, after waiting for 40 days, on Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo completed a lucrative move to the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. What Ronaldo said about joining the Al Nassr club? Ronaldo said in a statement that he was "eager to experience a new football league in a different country". "I am fortunate that I have won everything I set out to win in European football and feel now that this is the right moment to share my experience in Asia", the forward added. What Ronaldo can offer to the Al Nassr club? Ronaldo has 819 goals to his name, having scored over 700 goals in club football and over 100 in international football. Despite United's struggles last season, an ageing Ronaldo demonstrated that he still had some fuel left in the tank by finishing top scorer with 24 goals, 18 of which came in the Premier League. In Qatar, he became the first player to score in five World Cups but he soon lost his place in the starting lineup after Portugal reached the knockout stages. However, scoring goals has not been an issue for Al Nassr this season, as the team has a joint league-high 24 goals after 10 games, the same as leaders Al Shabab.

Explained: Why Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Riyadh-based club Al Nassr? Everything you need to know

Many reports have linked the superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo to several top clubs. It has been rumoured that the Portugal captain is making a move to Saudi Arabia.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr?

Ahead of Portugal's quarter-final clash versus Morocco in the FIFA World Cup, on December 10 (Saturday), Cristiano Ronaldo broke his silence and finally reacted to reports of him threatening to leave the national squad for being benched in Round of 16 tie, versus Switzerland. During Portugal's R16 match versus the Swiss, captain Ronaldo didn't feature in the starting XI and only made an appearance in the 73rd minute in his side's 5-1 victory courtesy of his&nbsp;replacement Gancalo Ramos' stunning treble.

On Friday (December 08), the 37-year-old Ronaldo took to his official Twitter handle and shared a post captioned, "A group too close to be broken by outside forces. A nation too brave to let itself be frightened by any adversary. A team in the truest sense of the word, which will fight for the dream until the end! Believe with us! Strength, Portugal!"

Earlier, a&nbsp;statement from Portugal FA also backed Ronaldo by rubbishing claims against him,&nbsp;citing that he remains committed to the team as always.

"Cristiano Ronaldo builds up a unique track record every day at the service of the national team and the country, which must be respected and which attests to the unquestionable degree of commitment to the national team.

Ronaldo hasn't lived up to expectations in the ongoing edition so far.

FIFA WC: Ronaldo reacts to reports of him threatening to leave Portugal squad for being benched in R16 tie

Cristiano Ronaldo said that Portugal were “too united to be broken by outside forces” after it was reported he had threatened to walk out of the FIFA World Cup 2022 after being benched against Switzerland.

Cristiano Ronaldo rubbishes walk out threat report

It was a controversial end to Cristiano Ronaldo's second stint at Manchester United. After his explosive claims in a recent interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, where he slammed the Old Trafford club owners and came hard on team manager Erik Ten Hag, the 37-year-old Portugal star player was shown the door with his contract still not getting over. Ronaldo spoke at length on his equation with the Dutch manager and how he felt 'betrayed' by the treatment he received from the senior club executives.&nbsp;

As the situation became out of control, Ronaldo departed from the club where he had a memorable first stint, under Sir Alex Ferguson. Following his departure, Erik Ten Hag has finally opened up on his explosive interview. In an interview to MUTV, he said, "He’s gone and it’s the past. We are now looking forward and we’re looking to the future. When you change things in an organisation and change the way of playing, that takes time. In top-level football, you never get time. Opponents they want to kill you and that happened. We had to quickly adapt and I think our squad did terrific. The mentality changed and I think our way of playing changed during the season, the style, and I think we are growing and we have to keep the process going.," he added.

During his interview with Morgan, Ronaldo revealed he doesn't have any respect for Erik, under whom he hardly saw his name in the starting XI in the ongoing season and didn't make much impact for the Red Devils. He had stated, "I don't have respect for him [Ten Hag] because he doesn't show respect for me. If you don't have respect for me, I'm never gonna have respect for you. Not only the manager, but the other two or three guys who are around the club [at the senior executive level]. I felt betrayed. I don't care, people should listen to the truth. Yes, I felt betrayed. I feel that some people didn't want me here, not only this year but last season too."

Currently, Ronaldo is still on the lookout for a new club after leaving Man United. There were reports of him joining the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr but he recently denied all such claims during Portugal's FIFA World Cup Ronud of 16 clash versus Switzerland.

'He’s gone...': Erik Ten Hag reacts to Cristiano Ronaldo's ouster from Man United after explosive claims

In Portugal's Round of 16 tie versus Switzerland in the ongoing FIFA World Cup, in Qatar, Portuguese coach Fernando Santos stunned one and all as the team's starting XI didn't comprise captain and superstar striker Cristiano Ronaldo. A lot was said and written about his absence as the 37-year-old finally made an appearance in the 73rd minute but couldn't make any impact in his side's 6-1 thrashing of the Swiss line-up.&nbsp;

Ever since Ronaldo was benched versus Switzerland, reports have been doing the rounds that the star forward threatened to leave the Portugal camp after not being in the starting XI. During the game, he was seen celebrating his side's goals but was&nbsp;spotted heading towards the tunnel at the final whistle when his teammates were celebrating the victory with fans in the stadium. Now, the Portugal FA have brushed aside all such claims and stated that Ronaldo's commitment towards the team remains unquestionable.&nbsp;

UNBELIEVABLE! Ronaldo on the verge of agreeing to a whopping €400 million deal with Saudi Arabian club: Report

Portugal opened their campaign in the FIFA World Cup 2022, in Qatar, on Thursday evening (November 24). Cristiano Ronaldo was in action on the fifth day of the mega event and saw his side edge past a competitive Ghana line-up, 3-2, to pick up full points from their Group H encounter.

Snippets of Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan have&nbsp;gone viral in no time. While the whole interview is set to be released soon, Manchester United's superstar striker's big revelations have left the football fraternity in shock.

Ronaldo has touched up on various aspects. From speaking on his equation with Man United manager Erik Ten Hag to criticising his club owners, the 37-year-old Portuguese captain spoke at length on the 'most difficult time of his life'. Early this year, Ronaldo and his partner&nbsp;Georgina Rodríguez had lost their son during childbirth. Last year, the couple had revealed that they were expecting twins. While the daughter survived, his son passed away.&nbsp;

Ronaldo spoke about the loss of his son and said in the interview,&nbsp;"It is probably the worst moment that has passed through my life since my father died." He further asserted, "When you have a kid, you expect that everything will be normal. And when you have that problem, it's hard. As human beings, me and Georgina had quite difficult moments, because we don't understand why it happened to us. It was difficult, to be honest, it was very, very difficult to understand what was going on in that period of our life."

Ronaldo added, "I try to explain sometimes to my family and close friends.&nbsp;They say, 'I never felt to be happy and sad in the same moment. It's hard to explain -- so difficult -- you don't know if you cry, you don't know if you smile, Because it's something you don't know how to react. You don't know what to do to be honest. That moment was probably the most difficult moment that I had&nbsp;in my life."

On April 18 2022, Ronaldo had shared the news of the demise of his son on social media platforms. He captioned the post, "It is with our deepest sadness that we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away,” the statement said. “It is the greatest pain that any parents&nbsp;can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”

“We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”

Ronaldo's revelations in the latest interview have&nbsp;surely made heads turn. It remains to be seen if any action is taken by the Red Devils. For now, they are playing the waiting game and willl react after full facts have been established.&nbsp;

Snippets of Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan have gone viral in no time.

From speaking on his equation with Man United manager Erik Ten Hag to criticising his club owners, the 37-year-old Portuguese captain spoke at length on the 'most difficult time of his life'. Early this year, Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodríguez had lost their son during childbirth. Last year, the couple had revealed that they were expecting twins. While the daughter survived, his son passed away. Ronaldo spoke about the loss of his son and said in the interview, "It is probably the worst moment that has passed through my life since my father died." He further asserted, "When you have a kid, you expect that everything will be normal. And when you have that problem, it's hard. As human beings, me and Georgina had quite difficult moments, because we don't understand why it happened to us. It was difficult, to be honest, it was very, very difficult to understand what was going on in that period of our life." Ronaldo added, "I try to explain sometimes to my family and close friends. They say, 'I never felt to be happy and sad in the same moment. It's hard to explain -- so difficult -- you don't know if you cry, you don't know if you smile, Because it's something you don't know how to react. You don't know what to do to be honest. That moment was probably the most difficult moment that I had in my life."

Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.” “We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.” Your pain is our pain, @Cristiano 💔 Sending love and strength to you and the family at this time. https://t.co/24oyEV8CQi — Manchester United (@ManUtd) April 18, 2022 × Back then, Man United had also reacted to the devastating news and said, "Your pain is our pain, @Cristiano Sending love and strength to you and the family at this time."
