Portuguese football star, Cristiano Ronaldo, has added a Nigerian touch to his latest Instagram content by featuring the popular song "Active" by a Nigerian singer Asake.

The forward, who currently plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League and also captains Portugal's national team, was seen playing padel tennis in the video as Asake's vibrant tune played in the background with the caption, "Looks like my Padel skills rubbed off on you😂, congratulations on winning the premier @arturocoello_!"

In the Instagram clip, Ronaldo engages in a casual tennis match, all while 'Active' - a hit collaboration by Asake and Travis Scott - sets the energetic mood.
