Ronaldo confused Saudi Arabia with South Africa

Explaining to journalists that football is changing and this is not the end of his career, Ronaldo misled countries by saying that he came to play in South Africa.

He forgot the Arabic words he was supposed to say

At the end of the press conference, Ronaldo entered the stadium in Riyadh, where fans sang and danced in the stands as they waited for his introduction.

At the end, the Portuguese was joined by his family and the host of the event asked him to say the last words he had prepared in Arabic.

Cristiano Ronaldo was amused by the fact that he had already forgotten the words symbolizing the club’s slogan – “Al-Aalami”, chanted by fans in the stands of the stadium.
