After having signed with Al-Nassr of the Saudi Pro League, Cristiano Ronaldo managed to have his first minutes in Saudi Arabia as the top figure of the All-Stars of the Riyadh Season against Paris Saint-Germain of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, in a match in which he was able to score a double to debut in the country that holds a new adventure in his career.
In a match that meant he stepped on the pitch again before the eyes of the world after leaving Manchester United, due to problems with Erik ten Hag, and the Qatar 2022 World Cup in which he was relegated to the National Team bench of Portugal, Cristiano was chosen the ‘Man of the Match’ in the duel that took place at the King Fahd Stadium.
A few hours after the exhibition match held in Saudi territory, the number ‘7’ and captain of the best Al-Nassr players along with Al-Hilal, published on his Instagram account: “So happy to be back on the field and on the scorer list! It’s nice to see some old friends”.
In the publication made by the record man for Real Madrid and Portugal, you can see images of the sequence of him celebrating one of his goals with the classic ‘Yes!’, the execution of his penalty, the greeting with Leo Messi and the post -match receiving the ‘Man of the Match’, because despite the 5-4 defeat he was the only footballer who scored a couple of times and is the new superstar in Arabia.
Who are Cristiano Ronaldo’s old friends?
The historic Lusitanian recalled those footballers with whom he has shared on the pitch, either as rivals or as teammates, in a match that saw Messi again on the pitch after having had their last confrontation at the end of 2020 against Barcelona vs Juventus (0-3) in the Champions League where he was also able to score a double.
In addition to this, in the tunnel on the way to the pitch, he greeted Keylor Navas and Sergio Ramos, who triumphed with him at Real Madrid by winning a significant number of titles, including the three-time UEFA Champions League title.
Finally, moments before the start of the second half, he exchanged feelings with Kylian Mbappé and showed him the blow that Navas gave him in the penalty kick that represented the temporary 1-1. It should be noted that the French figure has repeatedly shown his admiration for him and Cristiano recognizes his quality as a player. (D)
