Al Nassr’s renowned captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, left spectators astounded during a recent match against Persepolis.
The 38-year-old Portugal star displayed an extraordinary act of sportsmanship during the match against Persepolis.
In the midst of a goalless draw, Ronaldo was awarded a penalty for his team. However, instead of capitalizing on the opportunity to potentially secure victory, the 38-year-old forward approached the referee and conveyed his belief that the awarded penalty was unjustifiable.
Despite the referee initially granting the penalty, Ronaldo, following his ethical stance, visibly signaled to the match officials that he did not deserve the call. Consequently, after reconsideration with the aid of VAR, the contentious penalty decision was eventually overturned.
This unprecedented demonstration of integrity by Cristiano Ronaldo not only surprised many fans but also showcased a commendable sense of fair play, leaving a lasting mark on the football world.
