The next stage in Cristiano Ronaldo is drawing ever closer, with the Portugal star poised to make his first appearance for Al-Nassr in Thursday's friendly against none other than Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain, and it could be an entertaining game if his previous debuts are anything to go by.
Ronaldo, 37, was unveiled by his new club earlier this month after leaving Manchester United by mutual agreement. With Rudi Garcia's side flying high in the Saudi Pro League, the veteran has an opportunity to hit the ground running after his new club manager said : "The greatest champions are the easiest to manage".
Al-Nassr's new signing has a lot to live up to, based on the achievements in his other club debuts over the years. Here, Mirror Football has taken a closer look at the last 20-plus years of Ronaldo's firsts.
