  • He appears to have gotten over his side's bad patch of form and will be looking forward to the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations

Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to be in good spirits as he wished fans, particularly in the Muslim community, Eid Mubarak.

The 38-year-old has experienced a tumultuous last few days, watching Al-Nassr's title aspirations slowly fade away following a draw and defeat to Al-Feiha and Al Hilal, respectively.

In the aforementioned games, Ronaldo failed to inspire his side to a positive result as they trail three points to current league leaders Al Ittihad, who have played a game less than Al-Nassr.

He was even involved in a WWE-inspired tackle during Al-Nassr's disappointing defeat against Hilal while also seen grabbing his crotch area as rival fans chanted the name of Lionel Messi, talkSPORT reports.

Regardless, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid goal-scoring machine appears to have put the setbacks behind him as he looks forward to helping Al-Nassr reach the final of the Saudi King Cup when they square off against Al-Wehda on Monday, April 24, in the semifinal.

But before the much-anticipated fixture, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen in good spirits as he went through the paces with his teammates at training. After the session, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner wished his fans Eid Mubarak, with a beaming smile accompanied by a wink and a thumbs-up gesture.

Here is the video:

What's Eid Mubarak?

"Eid Mubarak" or "Happy Eid" is a common greeting exchanged during Eid al-Fitr. Muslims convey well wishes and blessings to one another.

Eid Mubarak greetings come off the back of the end of Ramadan, the month-long fasting by Muslims across the globe, which precedes the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.

Celebrated on the first and second day of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid-ul-Fitr is observed with various customs and traditions by Muslims in different parts of the world, per TOI.

Ronaldo escapes punishment

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is set to get off scot-free after he was accused of making an obscene gesture during a top-flight league match in Saudi Arabia on April 18.

Ronaldo was part of the Al-Nassr team that went 2-0 down to Al-Hilal, with the loss leaving his team three points off the top. League leaders, Al-Ittihad, have played a game less.

As he walked down the tunnel, opposition fans chanted the name of his archrival, Lionel Messi. Ronald was then seen grabbing his crotch area, but the 38-year-old will face no further action from the league after the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee reviewed the report by match officials.
