"The goal is for him!"
Sad background: Emotional Ronaldo celebration
It was probably one of the most emotional goals of his glorious career. Cristiano Ronaldo fired Al-Nassr to a 2-1 win over Al-Rayyan in the AFC Champions League on Monday and dedicated his goal to his father, who died 19 years ago.
Ronaldo scored in the 76th minute to make it 2-0 to Al-Nassr. He immediately raised his arms to the sky - an emotional scene. "I wish my father was still alive, because today is his birthday and the goal is for him," said "CR7" after the game. In 2005, Jose Diniz Aveiro died of liver and kidney failure at the age of 51 after years of alcohol consumption.
Incredible but true: it was Ronaldo's 904th (!) goal of his career. In 78 games for Al-Nassr, the 39-year-old has scored 71 goals and provided 17 assists.
Records off the pitch too
And he is also setting records off the pitch. According to his own statements, he recently broke the barrier of one billion followers on social networks. "We've made history," the Portuguese posted.
With almost 20 million subscribers on YouTube within 24 hours, Ronaldo also secured himself a "Guinness World Record". Impressive!
