What happened to Ronaldo, who is greedy for goals? “No” to the PK declaration

The referee waves his finger at the penalty kick decision

Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr), who is second to none in terms of greed for goals, attracted attention with his unusual refusal to call a penalty kick.

Al Nasr (Saudi Arabia) defeated Persepolis (Iran) in the 5th match of Group E of the 2023-2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League group stage held at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the 28th (Korean time). It was a draw with -0.

In this game, Ronaldo had a chance to score just 2 minutes into the game.

While rushing inside the penalty box, he was tripped by an opposing player and fell. The referee blew the whistle and declared a penalty kick.

Normally, Ronaldo would have lifted the ball with joy and headed to the penalty box, but this day was different.

He waved his finger at the referee as if it was not a penalty kick. The opposing Persepolis players also seemed to agree with Ronaldo’s opinion and encourage him.

In the end, the referee overturned the decision after video review (VAR) and canceled the penalty kick declaration.

Ronaldo is a world-class goalscorer who has scored a career-high 128 goals in international matches, and he does not distinguish between international matches and his own team’s matches, and has shown a strong desire to score goals.

This was a game in which Ronaldo’s declaration of conscience particularly stood out. The Associated Press and the British BBC described this scene in detail.

Meanwhile, Al-Nasr secured first place in Group E with 4 wins, 1 draw (13 points) and succeeded in advancing to the round of 16. 슬롯사이트
