Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut for Al-Nassr on Saturday, with the former Manchester United forward starring as his side secured a narrow 1-0 win against Ettifaq FC.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was delayed in making his debut for his new club, with an FA ban carrying over in his move to the Middle East. This left anticipation high for the 37-year-old's bow and unlike at Old Trafford, he was handed the captain's armband with immediate effect.
Manager Rudi Garcia made the decision to hand the captain's armband to Ronaldo immediately, leaving Abudullah Madu to lose out. Madu has won three Saudi Pro League titles at the club, becoming somewhat of a club legend. However, he did not appear to have any ill feeling as he sent a positive message to Ronaldo after the match.
