A Saudi lawyer recently sat down with the superstar, sharing what the former Real Madrid star had to say about his time in the country.

Ronaldo expressed how happy he was to be in the country and how he was enjoying the experience of traditional Saudi food and visiting numerous places.

He also spoke about how, while people were eager to be around him, they didn’t harass him like in other countries. The former Juventus man claimed some fans crossed the line in other countries when they wanted photos with him.
