Ronaldo’s painstakingly carried split from Manchester United still has one further scene to be written, with the incident at Old Trafford throwing even more darkness. Because of the incident in November at Goodison Park when Cristiano Ronaldo smacked an Everton fan’s mobile out of their hands, he is presently serving a two-game ban with Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo is anticipated to debut for Al-Nassr on January 21, according to an insider linked to the Saudi club who spoke to AFP on Saturday. The Cameroonian Vincent Aboubakar’s contract was terminated by the club to adhere to the Saudi federation’s restriction of eight foreign players, and the 37-year-old will now be capable of joining his new team.

A projected 2 billion people watched Argentina vs. France’s 2022 FIFA World Cup final on television. 25,000 people attended the ceremony of his debut at Mrsool Park and were excited to see Ronaldo dressed in Al Nassr’s yellow jersey for the first time. According to Pedro Sepulveda, more people watched Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr unveiling than watched the 2022 FIFA World Cup. One million more views than the latter video demonstrate Cristiano Ronaldo’s strength and adds another record to his profile.

Cristiano Ronaldo referred to Saudi Arabia as “South Africa” in his initial Al Nassr media briefing

In front of tens of thousands of admirers, the 37-year-old football player was introduced after arriving in Riyadh. Cristiano Ronaldo responded to inquiries from journalists during a media briefing before entering the field. CR7 accidentally referred to Saudi Arabia as “South Africa” when discussing his transfer there, making headlines immediately.

During his first press conference with his current club, CR7 stated to the media, “For me, it is not the end of my career to come to South Africa (Saudi Arabia.)”  When Ronaldo made this blunder, he was discussing the standard of football played in Saudi Arabia and Asia. He thinks that Asian football is “different” and that his playing days are ahead of him.

Many people came to Mrsool Park to watch Cristiano Ronaldo for the inaugural time. The club’s backing for the Portuguese star left him speechless. The joy of Al Nassr supporters has been restored as “Cristiano Ronaldo” chants reverberated across Riyadh.
