Kuwaiti winger Mohammad Daham has recently grabbed fans' attention after performing Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration despite being a Lionel Messi fan. The 24-year-old plays for Kuwait SC, having joined The Brigadiers from Al-Nasr SC in 2023 for a reported fee of €596 thousand (via Transfermarkt).
Mohammad Daham was one of the key players in Kuwait's 2-1 win against the United Arab Emirates on December 24 in round two of the Gulf Cup. Despite going 1-0 down in the 6th minute courtesy of Caio Canedo's goal, Kuwait bounced back to win the game 2-1. Daham (17') and Moath Al-Enezi (90') got on the scoresheet for them.
After Daham's equalizer, the 24-year-old performed Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siu' celebration to commemorate his goal. However, in a post-match interview with the Qatari Al-Kass Channels Network, Daham explained that he loves Lionel Messi more. He said that he considers the Portuguese superstar the second-best player in the world.
