Cristiano Ronaldo checks on injured Abha striker Alimamy Gory after Al Nassr win

Cristiano Ronaldo went beyond the result as Al Nassr captain by checking on Abha forward Alimamy Gory after their 2-1 victory in the sixth round of the Roshn Saudi League.

Rather than going straight to the dressing room after the final whistle, Ronaldo walked towards Abha’s substitutes’ bench to ask about Gory’s condition.

Video footage showed the Portuguese forward approaching the injured striker and embracing him firmly. The moment offered a glimpse of Ronaldo’s conduct away from the competition and intensity of the match itself.

Gory, 30, had been forced to leave the pitch with an injury during the final minute. Ronaldo then made a point of finding him after the game to make sure he was all right.

The Al Nassr captain also greeted the other Abha players sitting on the bench. His gesture was widely praised as an example of sporting respect taking priority after a fiercely contested match.

The incident adds to Ronaldo’s record of humanitarian gestures and underlines that his influence extends beyond goals and victories. His approach to Gory reflected a willingness to support an opponent during a difficult moment, despite the two teams having just completed a competitive fixture.

Ronaldo’s reaction was captured in a video showing him greeting the Abha players after the final whistle.
