Ronaldo shares heartwarming moment with family

Although the disappointing results left Ronaldo and his teammates crestfallen, missing an opportunity to narrow the gap on the early pacesetters, a heartwarming video featuring his children has quickly become a viral sensation.

Just before the game began, Ronaldo's children, who were seated with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez in the stands, spotted their father and instinctively waved to him.

Cristiano reciprocated with a wave to acknowledge his family, as reported by MARCA on X (formerly called Twitter).

In a particularly touching moment, his youngest son Mateo, dressed in an Al-Nassr home kit, expressed his adoration for his dad by making a love sign.

Here is the video:

Ronaldo's Al-Nassr split points with Abha

Ronaldo played a part in setting up the opening goal, providing a pre-assist that his compatriot Otavio calmly finished within just three minutes.

Anderson Talisca doubled the lead shortly before the half-hour mark, making it seem like Luis Castro's team might pull away.

However, a careless foul in the box just before halftime allowed the visiting team to narrow the deficit before the break.

The second half did not produce the expected results, as Al-Nassr stumbled in the final moments of the game. Cameroonian forward Karl Toko Ekambi scored the equalizer in stoppage time, silencing the home crowd.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Mavin star Rema has become one of Nigeria's most renowned musicians worldwide, with his hit track "Calm Down" gaining significant global recognition.

Cristiano Ronaldo's children joined the ranks of those who appreciate the song's beauty. The Portuguese football superstar shared a video on Instagram showing three of his children dancing to the music from their apartment in Saudi Arabia, captioning it with "Good morning."
