Al Nassr vs Al Etiffaq: Ronaldo’s First Competitive Game For Saudi Side Sold Out In Less Than An Hour

Cristiano Ronaldo's much-vaunted Al-Nassr debut is in the offing as supporters brace themselves to witness the Portuguese superstar for the first time in an official game. 

Ronaldo, who will turn 38 in February, had his Al-Nassr bow delayed due to a two-game ban slapped on him by the English FA back in November. 

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is however billed to make his competitive debut on January 22 against Al-Etiffaq. 

According to The CR7 Timeline, the first batch of tickets for Ronaldo's first official outing for Al-Nassr against Al-Ettifaq sold out in less than an hour. 

The Portugal captain has received rave reviews from Al-Nassr's assistant coach Stephane Jobard for his humility and willingness to get going on the pitch, Daily Post reports.

 Meanwhile, Ronaldo could renew his rivalry with Lionel Messi when his new club face Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly slated for January 19 at the King Fahd Stadium.
