Al Awwal Park is set to witness a soccer masterclass as eternal rivals Barcelona & Real Madrid are set to lock horns. The stakes are high as the winner will take home the Spanish Super Cup. However, the plot isn’t over there. Real Madrid icon & Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to grace the event. Fans are crazily excited and have reportedly planned a heartwarming tribute, keeping in mind his iconic jersey no.!

The Saudi Pro League is currently having a 6-week winter break and Al Nassr’s next match is in February. Which in turn frees up Cristiano Ronaldo’s schedule, letting him attend the match. Could his presence inspire the Los Blancos?

5 years since his last El Clasico, Cristiano Ronaldo’s name will echo across Saudi Arabia for a minute tonight!

If reports are to be believed, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to receive an emotional fan tribute in today’s game. Fans are set to chant ‘Cristiano Ronaldo’ in the 7th minute of the Super Cup final. Al Awwal Park is Al Nassr’s home stadium and CR7 can expect plenty of fan support in addition to the traveling Real Madrid fans. While undoubtedly a classy idea, it seems the fanbase has borrowed a leaf from Liverpool fans. Mainly because this is not the first that CR7 will witness such a moment.

In the Liverpool-Manchester United game in April 2022, CR7 could not play due to the loss of his newborn child. As a result, the crowd at Anfield planned a tribute where they gave a standing ovation to the attacker in the 7th minute. The gesture was greatly appreciated by Cristiano Ronaldo, who expressed his thanks.
