Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his remarkable dedication and unwavering discipline. But behind his serious face, there lies a softer and more humorous side that is witnessed once in a way. Such was the case during a recent group training session, where the Portuguese icon jokingly remarked that one of his teammates looked older than his age!

Luis Castro’s side is back to their fundamentals as preparations continue for the AFC Champions League. Although a bitter loss in the Riyadh Season Cup against Al Hilal must have drained energy levels, Cristiano Ronaldo is leaving no stone unturned to bring in positivity. A video surfaced showcasing Al Nassr’s Sami Al-Najei greeting Castro with a hug. CR7, who was standing behind them, light-heartedly taunted Al-Najei by saying, “You look [like you’re] 37.”

In a moment of banter, the 39-year-old hilariously added a decade to Al-Naji’s age, which is just 27! The cheeky taunt sparked amusement among those around him. This was certainly an interesting effort from CR7 to turn his side’s frown into a smile after a 2-0 defeat to Al Hilal. Notably, the 5X Ballon d’Or winner was quite frustrated post-match and even made a disrespectful gesture with Al Hilal’s jersey. His post-match gestures didn’t stop there!

The face of Al Nassr gave his silver medal to a young rival fan, subtly implying that he didn’t find his club’s performance acceptable. Nevertheless, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have moved on from the Derby upset, as he’ll be looking to lead his side to glory in tomorrow’s clash against Al Fayha. Speaking of which, what’s the update on his injury? 

Is Cristiano Ronaldo fit to play in the AFC Champions League RO16 against Al Fayha?

Earlier, a video surfaced showing Cristiano Ronaldo training alone, which raised concerns over his presence in Wednesday’s AFC Champions League clash. As he played the full match against Al Hilal, reports of a potential injury scare also surfaced. However, Saudi journalist Abdulaziz Al-Osaimi claimed that CR7 is ready to take on Al Fayha.
