Cristiano Ronaldo is out to make one Al-Nassr superfan’s day after a video of him went viral.
The supporter of the Saudi Arabian club can be seen holding up a phone and singing along to chants of ‘Ronaldo, Ronaldo’ with tears in his eyes.

The elderly fan also has a Ronaldo shirt on backwards so that the Portuguese superstar’s name is on the front of his body.
It’s clearly a video that has moved the former Real Madrid striker, who has sent out a plea to find out who this man is.
In a tweet on X, he said: “Looking for him! Any info would be appreciated.”
It’s unclear what Ronaldo has planned for this super supporter, but you would think it would be a moment to cherish.
So, the search for him starts now.
Ronaldo is known for being generous to his fans and has convinced security stewards to let supporters onto the field to get pictures, while at Euro 2024, he allowed a young pitch invader to take a quick snap with him.
Certainly, this elderly gentleman will be hoping that Ronaldo finds him and reaches out.
However, he would have no doubt been concerned to see Ronaldo not involved for Al-Nassr against Al-Kholood.
Ronaldo sat out the 3-3 draw after his partner Georgina Rodriguez revealed she had been suffering from pneumonia for the past four days.
She is now back at home, and Al-Nassr confirmed that Ronaldo was also ill, and that was why he wasn’t involved.

Since signing for Al-Nassr after Ronaldo mutually terminated his contract at Manchester United, he has barely missed a game due to injury or illness, so you would think he must be struggling.
It’s unclear when the 39-year-old will return to action, but everyone associated with Al-Nassr will hope he’s fine.
In a short statement, his club said: “Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo was not feeling well today and was diagnosed with a viral infection.
“The team’s doctor confirmed he needs to rest and stay at home. As a result, he will not be traveling with the team to Iraq today.
“We wish our captain a speedy recovery.”
