Cristiano Ronaldo has been filmed mocking Arsenal defender Cedric Soares during a Portugal training session ahead of the World Cup qualifier final against North Macedonia. The duo, who have shared the international stage since 2014, face the side who drew the curtains on Italy's road to Qatar.

The Manchester United striker found the funny side in Cedric leaping for a header during a rondo before imitating the his 'Ballet' jump. Mikel Arteta's right-back has seemingly been providing the entertainment as for Fernando Santos' side, calming the sides' nerves ahead of their clash.

Portugal produced a disappointing showing in their World Cup qualifying group, finishing second behind Serbia. As a result, Ronaldo and Cedric dropped into the European play-offs.

Santos relegated the Arsenal defender to the bench in their 3-1 win over Turkey which sent Portugal into the final against either North Macedonia or Italy. The former found a winner against Roberto Mancini's side in the dying embers to book themselves a ticket against the 2016 European champions for a place in Qatar.

Cedric's side are heavy favourites to beat North Macedonia in the final qualifier.
