Cristiano Ronaldo has swapped shirts with Mexican star Carlos Vela in the past in La Liga when the Portuguese star played for Real Madrid and the Mexican winger was at Real Sociedad. Vela was at Real Sociedad from 2011 to 2018, while Ronaldo played at Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018. Ronaldo was undeniably one of the best players in the league, but the Mexican winger also shined in La Liga with Real Sociedad during the 2010s. He made 248 appearances for Real Sociedad, where he scored 73 goals and provided 43 assists.

Ronaldo also asked for a shirt swap with the Argentine attacking midfielder Damian Manso. Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United in the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup final against Manso's L.D.U. Quito, where the English side won 1-0. Manso won the Bronze ball in the tournament, while Ronaldo won the Silver ball. Wayne Rooney won the Golden Ball award as he was the best player of the tournament. Ronaldo was impressed by Manso's performances in the tournament and was the first player the Portuguese asked for a shirt swap.

The most recent shirt swap from Ronaldo was with Kylian Mbappé. Ronaldo's son, Cristiano Jr., is reportedly a big fan of Mbappé and asked Ronaldo's girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, to tell his dad to remember to ask for Mbappé's shirt. This was a special moment for Mbappé since his idol is the Portuguese striker, and the two shared a moment in the 2020 Euros.

Al Hilal is first with 77 points, and they have a nine-point advantage. The only way they could get closer to Al Hilal to fight for the title is if they drop points and Al Nassr beats them in their next match against them.
