Real Madrid Fan Spotted With Ronaldo’s Al Nassr Shirt at Club World Cup Final

• Ronaldo spent an outstanding nine years at Real Madrid, establishing himself as arguably the greatest player to have played for the club
• Almost a month ago, he linked up with his former teammates who were in Riyadh for the Spanish Super Cup
• He has since gotten off the mark at Al-Nassr, bagging four goals in a single game to reach 61 career hattricks

Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy at Real Madrid has forever been engrained in the hearts of the club's fanbase.

The Portuguese icon, who recently turned 38, remains Real Madrid's greatest scorer with a staggering 451 goals in 438 competitive matches.

Currently, at Al-Nassr, Ronaldo is perhaps the greatest footballer to have donned the famous all-white Los Blancos jersey, per the Sporting Blog.

Five years after his exit, he is still accorded the needed respect by the club's supporters, which was demonstrated in Madrid's Club World Cup final against Al Hilal.

But what gained the attention of social media users was a Real Madrid fan, who could not hide his unflinching love for Cristiano Ronaldo.

In a photo making the rounds on social media, seen by Sports Brief, the Madrid fan hoisted Ronaldo's Al-Nassr shirt to show his love for both the club and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
