Ronaldo is still serving his ban which he received from Manchester United after he took part in a controversial interview with Piers Morgan. As punishment for this, the club terminated his contract and he then received a two-match ban from football.
As a result, the 37-year-old has been forced to watch on from the sidelines or in this case, the dressing room.
The video shows Ronaldo celebrating his side’s second goal while he was putting in some work on the stationary bike.
