As he ran out, the opposite side of his new home, Mrsool Park, displayed ‘VAMOS’ on the seats, translated from Portuguese as ‘let’s go’.
Al-Nassr boss Rudi Garcia went over the tactics with the team and Ronaldo greeted all his teammates before kick-off as he tried to cheer them on as their new captain.
