The response from YouTuber Sneako to Cristiano Ronaldo's most recent celebration has gone viral. A non-Muslim player performing the ‘sajda’ as a goal celebration is a rare sight. Players like Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have frequently been spotted performing it as an expression of gratitude to Allah (God). However, following his most recent goal for Al-Nassr, Ronaldo did the same this time.
Sneako was delighted to watch Ronaldo do the ‘sajda’. Sneako was a supporter of Andrew Tate who had converted to Islam. Muslims do a ‘sajda’ or ‘sujud’ during prayers. Islam attaches enormous significance to the deed. The ‘sajda’ by Ronaldo even led some followers to question his religious beliefs.

‘Did Ronaldo convert to Islam?’
Sneako is heard saying in a viral reaction. “Did Ronaldo convert to Islam? I heard about this but isn’t he in Saudi Arabia and you’re supposed to only live with your wife and he’s not married to his wife. Yes! That’s what I’m talking about.”
Following this, Sneako performed Ronaldo's signature 'Suiii' celebration and said he is joining the winning team. However, Ronaldo has not really converted to Islam. He is a Roman Catholic, and no formal word on his conversion has been received. Conversely, Sneako made a good point when he asked if Ronaldo shared a home with his lover.
An exception to the Saudi Arabian rule
Early in January 2023, after Ronaldo's unveiling by Al-Nassr, concerns about how he would coexist with Georgina Rodriguez without being married started to surface. Without a marriage license, cohabitation is strictly prohibited in Saudi Arabia. However, according to TalkSport, some Saudi attorneys informed EFE about the proceedings. They said that since Ronaldo and Rodriguez live together, the authorities will "turn a blind eye."
An unnamed lawyer informed EFE, “Although the laws of the kingdom still prohibit cohabitation without a marriage contract, the authorities have recently started to turn a blind eye and no longer prosecute anyone. Although these laws are used when there is a problem or a crime.” Since moving to the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo has been there for five months. The pair doesn't appear to have any problems living there.
