Cristiano Ronaldo receives the ‘Man of the Match’ award with a World Cup-like trophy
Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo received the “Man of the Match” award after Al-Nassr beat Al-Shorta 1-0 in the Arab Club Champions Cup. The Portuguese player, who scored the game-winning goal in the 75th minute, was also awarded a trophy for this honor.
However, many football fans made jokes about it. The trophy looked like a miniature version of the World Cup trophy.
This scene was ironically commented on the internet. “Ronaldo gets his first World Cup trophy,” wrote one user. “They made a World Cup trophy especially for Ronaldo,” another sneered as he wrote.
The World Cup trophy is the only trophy Ronaldo has yet to win. He won numerous championships with the highest-paid soccer clubs in the world, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, and became European champion in 2016 with the Portuguese national team.
But their best result in World Cup history was reaching the semifinals in 2006.
Many fans say that owning a miniature version of Ronaldo’s World Cup trophy should make him happy through thick and thin. He finally got it.”
