Cristiano Ronaldo met with the fan and even invited him to watch Al-Nassr at their home ground.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been making headlines since his high-profile move to Saudi Arabia club Al-Nassr and the Portuguese superstar won a lot of hearts recently by meeting a 10-year-old boy who lost his father in the earthquakes that rocked Syria and Turkey.
In a video making the rounds on social media, Ronaldo was caught hugging the boy and speaking to him during a meeting arranged by the club. The video was shared by Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of the Saudi Board of Directors of General Entertainment Authority. The boy, who was identified as Nabil Saeed from Syria, was also invited to see Al-Nassr play at their home ground and he is a massive fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo sends plane full of care items for earthquake victims in Turkey, Syria
Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a planeload of care items to the victims of recent earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, which have claimed more than 50,000 lives to date.
The devastating Feb. 6 earthquakes — measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale — struck southeastern Turkey and northern Syria with thousands of people still missing, injured or homeless.
In Turkey, more than 500,000 people have been evacuated from the affected area. Reuters has reported that 160,000 buildings either collapsed or were damaged in the tragedy.
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United in November to join Saudi League side Al Nassr, has paid for tents, medical supplies, warm clothes, bedding, food and baby supplies to boost the aid effort.
Ronaldo, 38, also fulfilled the dream of a Syrian boy who had told rescue workers he wanted to meet the Portugal striker.
Nabil Saeed made a request shared on social media last month and was invited to attend Al Nassr’s 3-1 win over Al Batin in Riyadh, before which Ronaldo met him and posed for pictures.
“When I saw Ronaldo, I thought it was a dream,” Saeed told Reuters. “I didn’t believe myself. When this dream would end, I didn’t know. I pray to God that it will not be a dream. I wish everyone could see Ronaldo. He is very nice person.”
