Ronaldo's Ramadan Reveal: Fasting Feint or Fans' Fervor?

Ronaldo allegedly fasted for two days during Ramadan

Former Al-Nassr midfielder Shay Sharahili says Cristiano Ronaldo attempted fasting during Ramadan last year.

Speaking on the Eight platform, Sharahili noted that playing in Ramadan is not easy and some players handle it better than others.

He added the challenge is tougher for foreign players who are less used to the routine.

Ronaldo reportedly tried fasting for two days and then acknowledged it wasn't easy.

Other Al-Nassr stars have said Ronaldo frequently encourages prayer and other religious observances.

Bottom line: even legends have to dodge two things—defenders and the iftar menu.

If Ronaldo's fasting was a goal, this Ramadan it's an own-goal—even so, the drama still scores.

Guess we can call it a dramatic offside: Ronaldo may fast, but the hype never does.
