Rostov's press team shared a photo of their Brazilian striker Ronaldo celebrating a goal he scored. Ronaldo took off his jersey and held it high, proudly displaying his name and number.

This style of celebration will be familiar to many fans. In 2017, Cristiano Ronaldo – then playing for Real Madrid – celebrated a goal against Barcelona in an almost identical manner. Before that, Barcelona legend Lionel Messi also celebrated a similar goal during his time in Rostov.

Ronaldo joined Rostov in January 2024. In the months since, he has made 21 appearances in all competitions, finding the back of the net 8 times and providing 4 assists for his teammates. It is clear that Ronaldo is honoring the greats who came before him with this celebration. Just like Messi and Cristiano, he is making a name for himself on the pitch.
