In a captivating encounter between Portugal and Iceland during the Euro 2024 qualifier, the footballing world bore witness to a spine-tingling display of bravery that will remain ingrained in collective memory. As the match unfolded, an unruly pitch invader stormed onto the field, fixated on the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo. However, destiny had a different plan, and an intrepid savior emerged from the ranks of Manchester City to come to the aid of the Portuguese maestro – none other than the indomitable Ruben Dias.

According to the Spanish publication DeporFinanzas, Cristiano Ronaldo has elevated Al-Nassr to the fourth spot on the list of football clubs with the most social media interactions in January. On New Year's Day, the Portugal legend became a free agent and signed a contract to pay him $200 million annually. The massive investment is beginning to pay off, both in and out of the pitch.

Ronaldo's debut game with Al Nassr is on the 7thbut now it appears that he will have to wait out two games. That is because of the ban that English Football Association has imposed on him. The 37-year-old player, the five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or trophy, has signed a 200 million EUR a year deal with the Pro League club of Saudi Arabia.

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo failed to realise that he was growing old and that he could not play every game that he once could. This has been labelled as a big factor behind Ronaldo falling out with Manchester United in his second spell with the club. At 37 years of age, Ronaldo is coming towards the end of his career and he has recently made a switch to Saudi Arabian football – even if it is worth around £ 175 million per season. Ronaldo was not happy with the game time which he was receiving at United under Erik ten Hag.
