- Player injures himself replicating CR7’s celebration
- Scored rebound after penalty save
- Jarred his knee in awkward landing
A Brazilian footballer was brought crushing down to earth after scoring a penalty rebound as he jarred his knee while attempting to replicate رونالدو‘s trademark celebration. Kesley had just equalised for جريميو Prudente but had to be brought off immediately after, having collapsed upon landing.
Kesley isn’t the only player to have emulated Ronaldo’s famous jump. Manchester متحد striker Rasmus Hojlund pulled off the celebration in front of the five-time الكرة الذهبية winner during a Nations League game between الدنمارك and Portugal, admitting afterwards Ronaldo has always been one of his idols.
Andros Townsend also whipped out the ‘SIUUU’ after he scored for إيفرتون خلال الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز game at Old Trafford in 2021, claiming it was a “mark of respect” to the former Real Madrid star.
Ronaldo should get back to jumping for joy when النصر start their 2025-26 الدوري السعودي للمحترفين campaign in August. He has been asking the club to make high-profile additions to their squad during the summer transfer window, with ليفربول‘s Luis Diaz a reported target.
