Jamaican footballer Damion Lowe, a prominent figure in the Reggae Boyz squad, has captured the spotlight locally on social media following an unforgettable on-field encounter with football icon Cristiano Ronaldo.
Lowe, who signed a two-year contract with Saudi Arabia’s Al Akhdoud last summer, shared his reflections on social media, expressing deep gratitude for the opportunity despite his team’s loss. He wrote, “It was an unforgettable honor sharing the pitch with a legend. Moments like these remind me how far I’ve come, and I hope they inspire others to chase their dreams.”
However, just days later, a viral video from the match added an intriguing twist to the narrative.
The clip shows Lowe in a heated moment with Ronaldo during a free kick. After slight contact between the two, Ronaldo went to ground, prompting Lowe to shout at the Portuguese star, seemingly telling him to ‘get up’.
