After enduring an awkward moment which led to journalists chanting his iconic “Siu” celebration, Ronaldo soon had his boots on for his new team for the first time.

And she still appeared to be cloud nine earlier as she joined her man in Saudi for a first look around Al-Nassr’s facilities.
The 28-year-old was also spotted wearing a large diamond ring too - perhaps a treat from Ronaldo to celebrate his mega new contract.
Ronaldo had earlier revealed that he had “multiple” offers from clubs in Europe and across the world before joining Al-Nassr.
He said: “For me, this is a great opportunity in football and to change the mentality of the new generation.
“Nobody knew, but I can say now, I had many opportunities in Europe, many clubs, in Brazil, in Australia, the US, even in Portugal there were many clubs that tried to sign me.
“But I gave my word to this club, for the opportunity to develop not only the football but the other part of this amazing country.”
Ronaldo added: “For me it is a good challenge. I know what I want and, of course, what I don’t want as well.
“So for me, it is a good chance to change, help, with my experience and knowledge to grow many important points.
