Cristiano Ronaldo used social media to help him locate a seemingly die-hard fan of his and his team, Al-Nassr, who was seen crying during his team’s match in Saudi Arabia earlier on Friday.

The man was caught on a passerby’s camera while the fan, dressed in Ronaldo’s jersey, appeared to be in tears because Ronaldo was not wearing a suit for the contest.

The man’s desperation can be seen in the heartbreaking video, as the fan, who was also caught chanting Ronaldo’s name, would have been there only to see his idol perform live, but alas.

Now, in light of the viral clip, it appears Ronaldo is already working to make things right.

Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr, expressed his gratitude for the support and looks forward to organizing a meeting to reciprocate the supporter’s touching gesture.

On his X page, Ronaldo shared the post, asking his 113 million followers: “I’m looking for him!

“Any information would be appreciated,” he added.

So far, the post has been viewed almost 25 million times online, with thousands of users sharing the video and offering information in the hope of helping Ronaldo find the emotional fan.

Ronaldo, known for his strong bond with his fans and immense gratitude for their support, expressed his desire to meet the fan and thank him personally for his unwavering admiration.

As for why Ronaldo didn’t play in the match, that still remains a bit of a mystery, although many believe it could be linked to the viral infection he was diagnosed with last month.
