He doesn't take robbed penalties:  Fans salute Ronaldo after telling Referee to cancel spot kick

Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be brought down in the box in the early minutes of Al Nassr's AFC Champions League game against Persepolis.

The referee without hesitation pointed to the spot but Ronaldo, being the embodiment professionalism, gave a sign to the official that it was not a penalty.

The Portugal skipper decided to pursue the path of truthfulness, rather than artificially boosting his goal tally.

His acts left fans very impressed, with some even arguing that Lionel Messi would never do such, highlighting the high number of allegedly soft penalties he scored at the World Cup in Qatar.

One fan on the social media platform X, hailed Ronaldo and slated Messi in the process.

"If it was Messi in Qatar he would never do this. This is why Ronaldo is the greatest of all time."

Another fan said: "You will never see Messi doing this by the way, he just likes to steal penalties just like in the World Cup."
