A clip of Cristiano Ronaldo comforting a 10-year-old boy whose father died in the recent earthquakes which devastated Syria and Turkey last month has gone viral after an Al-Nassr game.
More than 45,000 people died in the earthquakes that struck on February 6, including former Chelsea and Newcastle footballer Christian Atsu. Countless others were injured and vast amounts of people left without access to water, electricity or heat in the aftermath of the quake.
Nabil Saeed, from Syria, was invited to Saudi Arabia after the youngster was caught expressing his desire to see Ronaldo play to a Saudi Arabian rescue team who had travelled to Syria to help in the aftermath of the tragedy. The clip was shared by Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Saudi Board of Directors of General Entertainment Authority, who asked for help identifying the boy on social media.
