Cristiano Ronaldo is receiving a thunderous reception in his first few days in Saudi Arabia, but not the type that he would have expected.
The self-proclaimed GOAT landed in Riyadh amid some of the worst weather the Saudi capital has experienced for decades and was forced to delay his debut as he served the first match of a two-game ban imposed by the FA in November.
His stormy departure from Manchester United and his arrival in Arabia has been marked with torrential rain, thunder and lightning, which forced his debut to be cancelled last night and rescheduled for Friday, when Al-Nassr comfortably eased past Al-Ta'ee 2-0 at Mrsool Park.
