In a recent video that has gone viral on social media, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen hugging a 10-year-old fan who lost his father in the fatal earthquake that recently happened in Syria and Turkey.
The boy in the video, Nabil Saeed, told the rescue workers he wanted to meet his idol, Ronaldo. Ronaldo decided to fulfill his young fan’s wish as soon as he became aware. In the video by TURKI ALALASHIKH, Saeed was waiting for Ronaldo’s bus to arrive at the Al-Nassr Stadium before their match against Al-Batin on March 3.
As Cristiano Ronaldo arrived, Saeed warmly hugged Ronaldo and said, “I love you.” He then proceeded to mimic Ronaldo’s iconic celebration, “SIUUU,” to which Ronaldo reacted pleasantly by smiling warmly and performing the celebration himself.

The earthquake, which occurred on February 6, has left devastating blows in Syria and Turkey. It has claimed more than 47,000 lives, and Saeed’s father was one of the many who had fallen, victim. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of many celebrities who have taken action to help those affected. The five times Ballon d’Or winner has paid for tents, food packages, sleeping equipment, water, milk, and medicines and sent the rations to both countries.
What sort of form is Cristiano Ronaldo currently in?
After his mutual contract termination with Manchester United, Ronaldo joined the Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr. Since his Al-Nassr debut, he’s been in outstanding form, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists in just 6 games. He even scored 4 times in Al-Nassr’s triumphant victory over Al-Wehda on February 9.
Ronaldo’s team, Al-Nassr, is currently at the top of the Saudi League. They will be facing Al-Ittihad, who are just behind Al-Nassr in the league table, in an away fixture this Thursday.
