Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the great stars of football around the world, has been closely following the Mexican league while he is in Saudi Arabia. Cristiano's interest was sparked with the arrival of Sergio Ramos to Monterrey and was confirmed during the match between Cruz Azul and Rayados last Saturday.
In that match, Rayados opened the scoring with a goal from Sergio Ramos in the 11th minute, but Cruz Azul managed to equalize thanks to a goal from Nacho Rivero in the 21st minute. Ramos' reaction after his goal, attempting to imitate Ronaldo's celebration, was shared by TUDN on Instagram, even reaching the Portuguese player in Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo responded on Sunday to the post with applause emojis for his former teammate's goal and a laughing emoji for the way he performed the celebration. Ramos and Ronaldo were teammates at Real Madrid for nine seasons, from 2009 to 2018, allowing them to forge a solid friendship.
For his part, Sergio Ramos has scored two goals in three matches he has played in Liga MX. Currently, Monterrey is in ninth position in the overall standings of the Clausura 2025 with 16 points.
