Yesterday, Cristiano Ronaldo's goal proved decisive in Al-Nassr's 2-1 victory over Al-Rayyan in the second round of the AFC Champions League. Instead of his usual celebration, Ronaldo pointed to the sky after scoring, and he has since explained the gesture.

“Today's goal has a different flavor… I wish my father was alive because today is his birthday”, said Ronaldo.
