Cristiano Ronaldo's spell in Saudi Arabia is off to a fantastic start, with the legendary former Manchester United ace bagging eight goals and two assists within a month.
After controversially leaving the Premier League, Ronaldo opted to follow the money and take a whopping £175million-a-year deal to join Saudi club Al-Nassr. He made his debut on January 22 and has helped get the club to the top of the Saudi Pro League with a slew of goals, including consecutive hat-tricks.
And it appears that the football icon has been embraced by the people of Riyadh, where Al-Nassr play their games. During a recent trip to the Saudi capital, Mirror Sport encountered a number of locals who appeared enamoured with yet another big-time player to commit himself to the Middle East.
