There was a reunion in Saudi Arabia, as Cristiano Ronaldo met with former Real Madrid colleagues at Los Blancos' training session. The Portughese visited Real Madrid Team in Riyadh. The all-time Real Madrid top scorer watched the team's training session at the Al Nassr FC sports facilities, the club where he currently plays. The Portuguese greeted Ancelotti and the players, who are still preparing for the final of the Spanish Super Cup (Sunday 8 pm CET).
Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos was reported to visit Ronaldo the day before and then the Portuguese stopped by at Real’s training session. He took the opportunity to greet his former teammates as Madrid worked at the Al Nassr Sports City. Ronaldo even sat on the bench to watch the first minutes of the training session. During his time there, there was also a meeting with Carlo Ancelotti, who joined the training session a little later. The Italian came over to greet Cristiano in a gesture of courtesy. The Portuguese tried not to be seen too much, but MARCA captured the moment when he went straight to the bench to follow Real Madrid's session.
It was a friendly reunion. Cristiano already greeted some members of the coaching staff of Real Madrid on Tuesday, but did not coincide with the bulk of the squad. Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia was also present at the training session, and he sat on the pitch to watch Ancelotti's team work. In the stands, Jose Angel Sanchez, the club's top representative until Florentino Perez arrives in Riyadh, watched closely. It is reported that he may be present during the game and have another meeting with the Madrid squad.
His new life: Cristiano Ronaldo is adapting to his new life in Saudi Arabia. The player has barely been there for a week after signing for Al Nassr and is focusing on getting to know his teammates, adapting to what Rudi Garcia is asking of him... and getting used to his new life.
Ronaldo has arrived at Al Nassr four and a half years after leaving Real Madrid, a club with which he now has good relations with after his departure in July 2018. A year after his farewell, MARCA brought together Cristiano Ronaldo and Florentino Perez during the presentation of the MARCA Leyenda award to the Portuguese star and there the warmth between the footballer, the president and the club was recovered.
In December, Cristiano trained at Real Madrid's facilities while his move to Al Nassr was being finalized, making it clear that relations are fantastic. At the time, there were also a lot of rumors that he could’ve been close to a return in Madrid, but that turned out to be not true. On the other hand, CR7’s son has also played at Valdebebas on several occasions, making it clear that Madrid's doors are wide open for the top scorer in Madrid's history, with 451 goals.
