Saudi club Al-Nassr has brought back into the spotlight an earlier statement by its Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, in which he spoke of feeling that he belongs in Saudi Arabia, following his striking reaction to the Saudi scarf after Al-Nassr's match against Uzbek side Neftchi.
Ronaldo was seen holding up a scarf bearing the flag of Saudi Arabia and lines from the national anthem, a scene that sparked a wide reaction among fans on social media.
Republishing the statement put the Portuguese star's relationship with Saudi Arabia back in the spotlight, given his continued presence at Al-Nassr since joining the club and the attention he receives from fans and the media both inside and outside the Kingdom.
