Cristiano Ronaldo continued his dazzling form as he scored a brace against Al Akhdoud. The win has now also brought his team in touching distance from league leaders Al Hilal. Amid all this, a funny clip of the Portuguese veteran has surfaced online. The 38-year-old bizarrely confused an opposition player with Sadio Mane.

Besides the hilarious mix-up, both players have formed a great partnership on the field for Al Nassr this season. This has allowed the Senegalese winger to quickly settle with the forwards in his first season.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in quick succession against Al Akhdoud as Al Nassr continued their title fight. Apart from his goalscoring prowess, his sense of humor is also making headlines. The soccer icon confused Sadio Mane with Al Akhdoud winger Saviour Godwin. This happened during the shirt exchange at the end of the game. All three players shared a laugh and took it positively. The clip clearly showcases that Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying his time in the Middle East.

This is not the first time an Al Nassr player has confused a rival player with his own teammate. In fact, Sadio Mane himself also confused an opposition player as his own teammate during his early days at the club. In that situation, it was even more perplexing, as the Senegalese veteran was trapped between recognizing the two twins.

He got mixed up between Qassem Lajami with Ali Mohammed Lajami, as they were twins. Funnily, Mane thought his teammate Ali Mohammed Lajami was suddenly playing for Al Fateh.

I'm Anuj Virjiani, a soccer writer at Essentially Sports, and I can't express how deep my passion for the sport runs, especially when it comes to the English Premier League. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to understanding the intricate details of the game, both on and off the field. What's fascinating is that my beloved club is Newcastle United, and I've been on a rollercoaster journey with them, from their triumphant promotion from the second tier to the recent takeover and even their remarkable qualification for the Champions League last season.
