Her delight was evident as she openly expressed her satisfaction at witnessing the 38-year-old secure the Arab Cup title on August 12.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus attacker played a pivotal role in guiding his team to their inaugural triumph in the competition, scoring two goals against Al-Hilal in the final, per SportBIBLE.

Following his achievement with Al-Nassr, Rodriguez saluted her idol on Instagram.

Overcoming an early deficit in the second half, Ronaldo led the Knights of Najd to a dramatic recovery with a 74th-minute equaliser, sending the game into extra time where he scored a decisive diving header.

His remarkable performance at the King Fahd Stadium marked the end of a two-year stretch without a title, with the team's focus now shifting to the Saudi Pro League where Al-Nassr finished as runners-up last season.
