Album: Cristiano Ronaldo's Welcome Celebration in Saudi

Cristiano Ronaldo was welcomed in a massive reception by Al-Nassr fans at Mrsool Park in Riyadh on Tuesday.

Tens of thousands of fans were present to celebrate the former Manchester player in his new team as he also participated in a first public training session on Tuesday, alongside the rest of the squad.

Ronaldo joined a press conference with the club president Musalli Al-Muammar and coach Rudi Garcia. “I’m so proud to make this big decision in my life. In Europe my work is done. I won everything and played for the most important clubs in Europe. This is a new challenge,” Ronaldo said.

“I hope my signing for Al-Nassr would change not only the image of Saudi football around the world, but also perceptions of the Kingdom itself.” He said.

“I’m coming here to win, to play, to enjoy, to be part of the success of the country and culture of the country.” Ronaldo said.

"I can say now that there were many opportunities in Europe, many clubs in Brazil, in Australia, the US, and even in Portugal, many clubs tried to sign me but I gave my word to this club," Ronaldo said.
