- 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 Ronaldo’s trademark celebration. Kesley had just equalised for Gremio 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 團結的 striker Rasmus Hojlund pulled off the celebration in front of the five-time 金球獎 winner during a Nations League game between 丹麥 和 葡萄牙, admitting afterwards Ronaldo has always been one of his idols.
Andros Townsend also whipped out the ‘SIUUU’ after he scored for 埃弗頓 during a 英超聯賽 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 納賽爾 start their 2025-26 沙特職業聯賽 campaign in August. He has been asking the club to make high-profile additions to their squad during the summer transfer window, with 利物浦‘s Luis Diaz a reported target.
