Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked a football frenzy across Saudi Arabia with his arrival at Al-Nassr. Fans were looking forward to him jumping right into the next game. It’s already hopelessly sold out. But because of the England penalty, that’s probably not going to happen.

The Portuguese legend was able to reach an agreement with Manchester United to terminate his contract before the start of the World Cup in Qatar. There were many expectations, staying in Europe or possibly going to the United States. Cristiano Ronaldo, however, surprised everyone.

Although the holder of five Ballon d’Or rejected speculation that he would sign for the Saudi Arabian outfit. However, he did so anyway. Specifically, he signed a contract with Al-Nassr until 2025.

The soon-to-be 38-year-old footballer has a new challenge ahead of him, however, in which he may only disappoint rather than surprise. The level of the Saudi Arabian league is not great, according to several statistical servers it could be ranked behind the third English league.

Crucially, however, Ronaldo has unleashed a football frenzy in Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr has enjoyed an incredible increase in followers on social media, with the largest number of fans in Asia attending the Portuguese star’s performance.

The fact that Ronaldo confused Saudi Arabia for South Africa at the press conference did not change the joy of the fans. The Portuguese’s next match for his new club is hopelessly sold out, but the Real Madrid legend is unlikely to be able to make the game.

Indeed, the Daily Mail claims that the former Manchester United player will have to serve his two-match ban from England. He was given that, along with a £50,000 fine, for unacceptably throwing his mobile phone at an autistic boy as he walked to the changing rooms at Everton.

In addition, Al-Nassr will have to get rid of a foreigner in order to register Ronaldo, according to Al-Riyadiah newspaper. Moreover, we have to take into account the fact that coach Rudi Garcia will definitely want to familiarize the Portuguese with the style of play and his teammates first.
