Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo wins a penalty then asks referee to overturn the decision
It is not something you see every day in football. On Monday, during the AFC Champions League match between Saudi Arabia club Al-Nassr and Iran’s Persepolis, Cristiano Ronaldo waved off his own penalty against Persepolis, telling the referee himself he didn’t believe it was a foul.
In the second minute of the match, Ronaldo won a penalty for Al-Nassr when former Liverpool star Sadio Mane whipped a cross in in search of Ronaldo, but he immediately walked up to the referee and signaling it wasn’t a penalty.
