CR7's Friend Reveal: If Cristiano sees someone who doesn't pray, he
Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to score with a frequency that reflects his legend: with the last two goals scored in the Saudi Championship against Damac, the 39-year-old Portuguese champion has reached 915 career goals, making it increasingly possible to reach 1000 goals, a target he can reach if he continues to play even after the end of his contract with Al Nassr in 2025.

Ronaldo is already an icon in the Arab world, not only for what he does on the field, but also for his behavior off it. It has been revealed that the former Juventus and Real Madrid player invites his friends who do not practice prayer to join him and others.

Cristiano Ronaldo invites his friends to pray

"If Cristiano sees the players praying and someone is not praying, he says: 'Why are you not praying? Go and pray with them,'” said Walid Abdullah, the 38-year-old goalkeeper who played for Al Nassr until last summer, when he moved to Al-Diriyah in the second division. Abdullah is a well-known figure in Saudi football, having been part of the national team for over a decade and playing for the Riyadh club for seven years, sharing the dressing room with Ronaldo for a year and a half, where he had the opportunity to appreciate not only his footballing talent, but also his commitment to integrate with his teammates.

Ronaldo and the relationship with religion in the Arab world

Ronaldo's closeness to the Islamic religion in the Arab world is not something new. The first gesture that someone interpreted as a rapprochement with Islam occurred in May 2023, when Cristiano bowed after scoring an incredible goal, performing sujood, a gesture in which Muslims bow deeply towards Mecca, touching the ground with forehead, nose and hands which is at the level of the head. Another similar episode occurred in October 2023, when Ronaldo, before taking a penalty in the Portugal-Slovakia match, appeared to have said twice a Muslim prayer, "Bismillah," which means "In the name of Allah." .”

However, his Christian faith remains present, despite these moments.
