JEDDAH: A new video showing Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo in a football exhibition with TV host Soufiane Touzani is going viral.
The video shows the Portuguese superstar and Dutch-Moroccan Touzani playing “keepy-uppy”, a game that requires players to keep a football off the ground without the use of hands and arms.
Played in the verdant yard of Ronaldo’s luxurious home in Madrid, the two celebrities do not disappoint as they display their skills in football acrobatics and ball juggling.
Touzani is a star in his own right, having introduced football tricks that superstars are known to have adopted. For that, he has been labelled as a “pioneer of modern freestyle football.”
