Rival fans aim dig at Ronaldo with Ighalo's Messi-like goal celebration

Some rival fans took to social media to celebrate Al-Hilal's 2-0 win over Al Nassr in the Saudi Professional League on Tuesday, April 18.

Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo scored both goals from the spot to dent Cristiano Ronaldo's hope of winning the league in his first season.

The result was much to the excitement of some Messi and Barça fans who were following happenings in Saudi Arabia.

After the game, some took to their Twitter handles to troll the Portuguese star with a picture of Ighalo's trademark goal celebration which is similar if not the same to that of the Argentina captain.

The former Manchester United striker, Ighalo took his goal tally in the league to 18 goals, 7 more than Ronaldo who has managed 11.

Al Ittihad currently sit at the zenith of the league log with 56 points, 3 points ahead of Ronaldo's Al Nassr plus a game in hand.
