Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his goalscoring exploits but on Monday night the Al-Nassr forward convinced the referee not to award him a penalty.

The 38-year-old went down in the second minute after a challenge in his side's Asian Champions League 0-0 draw with Iranian side Persepolis.

But when Chinese referee Ma Ning awarded a penalty, Ronaldo argued the case for overturning the decision.

Ning was sent to the pitchside monitor and ultimately changed his call.

A combination of the video assistant referee and Ronaldo's honesty came to Persepolis' rescue. The match finished goalless, with Al Nassr's Ali Lajami sent off in the 17th minute.

Al-Nassr had already qualified for the knockout stages before the match in Riyadh. The Saudi Pro League side is top of Group E with 13 points after five matches and five points ahead of Persepolis in second.

You ass!

If he was leaving himself to and into every challenge, he would have a career akin to that of Jack Wilshere.

What he did is unprecedented in modern football, and quite remarkable for such an ambitious player.
