The impersonator took the joke in good spirits, laughing and responding, “You’re the best!” before Ronaldo continued with his warm-up routine.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr were held to a 2-2 draw against Al Shabab on Friday, extending their winless streak to three games. Despite dominating, the hosts conceded first when Daniel Podence won a penalty, which Abderrazak Hamdallah converted in the 44th minute.
Al Nassr quickly responded in stoppage time. A poor clearance from Ronaldo’s free kick allowed Ayman Yahya to fire in the equaliser.
Just five minutes later, Sadio Mane assisted Ronaldo, who scored from a tight angle for his 926th career goal.
Initially ruled offside, the goal was awarded after a VAR review, giving Al Nassr a 2-1 lead at halftime.
However, the match turned when Mohammed Al-Fatil received a red card early in the second half.
Playing with ten men, Al Nassr struggled, and Mohammed Al Shwirekh’s header in the 67th minute secured a draw for Al Shabab. Al Nassr have now won just one of their last six games.
