An Action by Ronaldo Towards Al Ain Fans Gains Popularity

To follow the Saudi football channel on WhatsApp from Afaq News in Arabic, click here - Users on the "X" platform circulated a video of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, before the match between his club Al-Nassr and the UAE's Al-Ain, on the latter's ground, on Tuesday, as part of the first round of the elite AFC Champions League. The video showed Al-Ain fans chanting the name "Messi" as Ronaldo entered Hazza bin Zayed Stadium to warm up.

At that moment, Cristiano Ronaldo did not show any angry reaction; instead, he greeted the rival fans by applauding them. At that time, Al-Ain supporters returned the greeting to the 41-year-old, who had previously experienced similar incidents from rival fans.

The past years in football have witnessed intense competition between Ronaldo and Messi, as they exchanged the spotlight and achieved the best collective and individual accomplishments.
