Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo fulfilled the dream of an Iranian child by meeting him and taking photos together during Al Nassr's visit to Tehran in preparation for the match against Persepolis in the AFC Champions League. The Al Nassr striker received a warm welcome upon his arrival in Tehran, with fans chanting his name and waving at him the night before the match.
However, a video of an Iranian child crying after being denied the chance to meet "CR7" gained significant traction on social media, seemingly reaching the management of Al Nassr. Shortly after the video's circulation, the child was brought into Ronaldo's room to meet his favorite star and take pictures with him, as shown in footage later published by the club.
The Saudi club's account on the platform formerly known as "Twitter," now "X," wrote along with the video: "Football is not just a game. It's much bigger than that. Al Nassr and its star Ronaldo embody this."
