On July 29, 2019, a friendly match between Juventus and the K-League All Stars team in Seoul ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw.

Brazilian forward Cesinha was among the goalscorers and stole the headlines with his impressive performance.

However, it was his celebration that truly made the match memorable. Cesinha imitated Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic SIUUU celebration, which left the Portuguese star smiling.

According to reports, Ronaldo was on the bench at the time and couldn't help but pull a wryly smile at Cesinha's antics. He even went on to embrace the Brazilian in the tunnel at the interval and handed him his shirt.

The match was Juve's last in their tour of Asia, and nearly suffered a shock defeat to their hosts before two late goals from Blaise Matuidi and Matheus Pereira did the honours.

The All-Stars took the lead when a long-range effort by Osmark dropped into the net, before Simone Muratore equalised for Juve.

Cesinha's strike restored All Stars' lead, with Adam Taggart making it 3-1 with a powerful shot early in the second half before the Serie A giants rallied back.
