Cristiano Ronaldo scores decisive goal for Al-Nassr against Al-Shabab. Video shows him kneeling and touching the ground with his hands and head.
Muslims believe that it is in this position, called Sudschud, that they come closest to God. Many Muslim footballers also use the gesture to thank God after successful shots on goal. Ronaldo signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Saudi club six months ago. According to media reports, he will receive the equivalent of around 200 million euros per season.
