The five-times Ballon D'Or winner scored his first goal in the Saudi Pro League for Al Nassr last week with Ronaldo saying he was ‘happy’ of this result.
Ronaldo arrived in Riyadh in January after signing a contract with the club through 2025. He was officially welcomed into Al Nassr in a massive ceremony that was held upon his arrival with his family by his side.
Since arriving in the Kingdom, Ronaldo and his family have been spotted around Riyadh, enjoying the city.
He was recently spotted enjoying a Lebanese dinner in Diriyah. Ronaldo and his family also celebrated his partner’s 29th birthday at an Armenian restaurant in Riyadh along with their friends.
