Khabib Nurmagomedov got back to playing football with his friends once again. The Dagestani recently shared a video on Instagram where he can be seen slotting a goal into a futsal net.

Khabib rounded the goalkeeper in a typical ‘Ronaldo’-esque fashion and scored. Ronaldo has scored almost 88 goals in his entire career by rounding the goalkeeper.

Following his goal, Khabib also brought out Ronaldo’s finger-wagging celebration.

The Eagle also mentioned Ronaldo in his caption, which read (translated to English):

“Who remembers @ronaldo 2008, who scored a little, but still with firepower @fc_legion_05 i need motivation brothers.”

Khabib had also tagged FC Legion Dynamo Makhachkala asking them to provide some ‘football motivation’.
