During a Saudi Professional League match on Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal for Al-Nassr and celebrated by performing a prostration, a common gesture among Muslim footballers.
The match saw Al-Nassr defeat Al-Shabab 3-2, with goals from Talisca, Abdurrahman Garib, and Ronaldo.
Al-Nassr currently has 63 points and is three points behind league leaders Al-Ittihad FC in the Saudi top-tier table.
The origins of the prostration celebration in football can be traced back to the Islamic tradition of sujood, a form of worship where one bows down and touches their forehead to the ground.
