FIFA President Gianni Infantino made passionate moves after witnessing Cristiano Ronaldo shine in Al Nassr’s win over Al Duhail in the AFC Champions League.
On October 25, the confrontation in the third match of Group E AFC Champions League 2023/24 between Al Nassr and Al Duhail ended with a 4-3 victory for the team from Riyadh. Ronaldo played the main role, scoring 2 goals and contributing 1 superb assist. Both of CR7’s goals were scored with his left foot and were extremely beautiful.
Overall, the last match was one of the most impressive performances of the Portuguese striker in the past 2 years.
Notably, FIFA president Gianni Infantino was also present at Al-Awwal Park Stadium and witnessed Ronaldo’s two “picturesque” masterpieces. After the match, Infantino could not contain his excitement and went straight down to the stadium tunnel to ask for the 38-year-old superstar’s autograph and jersey. The two then chatted back and forth and took a commemorative photo together.
The above action of the FIFA president caused a storm on social networking platforms as fans expressed excitement at the move of the most powerful man in soccer.
