Cristiano Ronaldo Denied Penalties as Al Nassr Qualify for AFC Champions League Group Stage


Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his first goal of 2024 - and the Portuguese superstar marked it with a new celebration. 


Ronaldo got Al-Nassr's opener at Al Feiha in the Asian Champions League, after 81 minutes of the round of 16 tie had been played.


With a smart bit of interchange play with teammate Marcelo Brozovic, Ronaldo was able to get into the penalty box and dispatch the ball past an advancing goalkeeper.


The 39-year-old ran off to celebrate, jumping, before putting his hands across his chest, in a different celebration to his iconic SIUUU move. 


The game finished 1-0, giving Al-Nassr a slender advantage ahead of the home leg which takes place next week, as they look to secure a spot in the Asian Champions League quarter-finals.
