Al Nassr and Persepolis are facing each other in gameweek number 5 of the AFC Champions League, in a certainly inconsequential match, since Cristiano Ronaldo's team is practically guaranteed first place and qualification for the round of 16 of the prestigious tournament.

Cristiano Ronaldo has gone viral in the last few minutes, because the referee scored a penalty in favor of Al Nassr, however, Cristiano Ronaldo did not want any penalty given and admitted to the referee that it had not been a penalty! Unreal lesson of humilty.

Furthermore, one of the factors why it went viral and has even more merit is that the match between Al Nassr and Persepolis was 0-0. Furthermore, it is a crucial match, since Al Nassr is still behind Al Hilal and Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, so the goal would have been important to gain confidence, even though it's another tournament.
