Cristiano Ronaldo shines, Ronaldo gets an unexpected joke by Real Madrid´s coach.

Cristiano Ronaldo made his arrival in Saudi Arabia official almost three months ago, when he put an end to his career in Europe (for now), and signed with Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia. In addition, he signed a gigantic contract, worth around 200 million euros per season, and will be able to play up to four years with the team. The Portuguese legend began his adventure in Asia slowly, taking a couple of games to adapt to the team, however, he is already shining as he has accustomed us to.

On February 25, Al Nassr faced Damac, one of the weakest teams in the Saudi Professional League, since it is in penultimate place in the competition. In that match, Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score a hat trick in a 3-0 victory. On the other hand, we find the curious anecdote that Ronaldo Nazario lived in Spain, more specifically, in the city of Madrid.

 The Madrid soccer derby between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid is one of the most desired matches among Spanish soccer fans. However, today's duel was not as exciting as others in which there were high levels of football. Although in the second part the game had its controversies as always.

The one who was not satisfied with what was done in the game was Carlo Ancelotti. The coach regretted the 1-1 final, which allows his classic rival, Barcelona, to be able to stretch the difference they have in the League so far. In case of winning against Almería, the team led by Xavi Hernández will get 10 points from Merengue.

The most interesting thing that took place during the match was the arrival of the youthful Álvaro Rodríguez, who scored his first goal with the white shirt in what was his debut at the Santiago Bernabéu. In addition, he became the youngest player of the current century to score in a Madrid classic, surpassing Gonzalo Higuaín who had done so at the age of 19 in 2007.

However, after the match between Real and Atlético there was a fun interview that captured all eyes. In a dialogue with the DAZN cameras, the Italian coach was consulted by stars who had a triumphant time at Real Madrid. Although he forgot a very particular one.

The joke that Carlo Ancelotti has made to a white legend

The Real Madrid coach starred in a funny anecdote with Ronaldo Nazario. The Brazilian greeted the Real Madrid coach, but he pretended to forget about him. "I know Villa and Guti well, but I don't know the one in the middle," Ancelotti said between laughs. "Ah, Ronaldo, now I remember. Great 'Ronie', the number 1!" the Italian said afterwards, showing off the great relationship they have.
