The famous Siuuu celebration which has become synonymous with Cristiano Ronaldo was there. Not once, but twice. The Portuguese superstar had Al Nassr fans up on their feet with two brilliantly struck goals in a hotly-contested Saudi Pro League game against arch-rivals Al Ahli. Both teams boasted some top names, but there's one man who towers over the rest, and it surely doesn't need a second guess.
Ronaldo may be 38, but he's still showed that spark when joining English Premier League giants Manchester United as a sprightly 18-year-old. And on Friday night in Riyadh, that was on full display. The former Juventus ace shone brightly like the club's yellow jersey as Al Nassr edged out Al Ahli 4-3. 
The goals had quality written all over them and, come to think of it, both goals came off his weak left foot. After the game, Ronaldo said that he was thrilled to have scored the goals and helped his team gain an important victory.
"Very happy to score 2 more goals and specially to have helped the team in this important win! Our fans have been amazing in our home with their fantastic support!" Ronaldo posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The Portuguese superstar had Al Nassr fans up on their feet with two brilliantly struck goals in a hotly-contested Saudi Pro League game against arch-rivals Al Ahli. As Saudi Arabia celebrates its 93rd National Day on Saturday, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has marked the occasion by wearing the traditional Saudi dress and wielding a sword.
In a video posted by his club Al Nassr, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United ace is seen wearing a white thobe and a black bisht over it, holding a sword as he performs an Arabic dance. 
The crisp video also features Ronaldo's teammates former Liverpool star Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles, Talisca and Otavio, wearing the traditional Saudi dress. The video, posted across social media platforms, is captioned: "All together. For one flag. We Dream, and Achieve".
The 38-year-old Ronaldo, who made the switch to the Middle East in December last year after a second stint at Old Trafford, has been on song at the start of the season, scoring seven goals from five matches in the Saudi Pro League. Footballer's acts of kindness continued as he fulfilled another young fan's dream on the eve of the match in Tehran. 
Crowds of Iranian football fans gave Cristiano Ronaldo a rapturous welcome on Monday as his Saudi team arrived in Tehran for a home-and-away club match.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was all smiles after receiving the thunderous welcome. But the million-dollar player also brought smiles to his special fans. He met an Iranian painter, Fatemeh Hammami Nasrabadi, known for her outstanding artwork. The 34-year-old artist has been a die-hard Ronaldo fan since his days with Real Madrid. Despite facing 85% paralysis of her body, the physically challenged artist creates stunning portraits using her feet, showcasing a level of skill that defies conventional norms. Over the years, she has meticulously crafted paintings of global football stars and Iranian actors, Bollywood and Hollywood celebrities, solidifying her reputation as a remarkable artist. 
In a heartwarming video shared by AlNassrFC, a touching moment unfolded as Ronaldo met Fatemeh in person. The footballer embraced her warmly, patting her back affectionately. He couldn't help but express his deep appreciation for her paintings. To make the moment even more special, Ronaldo presented Fatemeh with his own AlNassr No.7 jersey. Ronaldo's acts of kindness continued as he made yet another young fan's dream come true on the eve of the match. Al Nassr arranged for the young fan to come to the team's hotel, allowing him to spend some valuable time with the Real Madrid legend. Earlier, a video of the boy went viral, capturing the raw emotions of a devoted fan who was left inconsolable because he couldn't see his idol, Ronaldo. The video was spotted by the Saudi team who arranged the meeting.
