Cristiano Ronaldo shared a heartwarming moment with his children just before Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League match against Abha on Friday, October 6.
The Portuguese superstar had been in excellent goal-scoring form, scoring 10 goals in seven league matches leading up to Friday's game, and fans had high hopes for him.
However, he couldn't extend his impressive goal-scoring streak as Al-Nassr was held to a frustrating draw by Abha at the Al-Awwal Park, Zawya reports.
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.

FootballJust 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.
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.
