Following the claims that Iran launched drone attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, a striking allegation has emerged regarding Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr. While reports surfaced that the Portuguese star evacuated his family from the country, different information related to the matter was also shared.
CLAIM THAT HE SENT HIS FAMILY TO MADRID AFTER THE ATTACK
According to the allegations, due to the panic environment in Riyadh after the attack, Cristiano Ronaldo sent his wife Georgina Rodriguez and their five children to the capital of Spain, Madrid, by boarding them on a private jet. It was claimed that the private jet, valued at approximately 70 million Euros, took off from Riyadh on Monday night.
WAS RONALDO ON THE PLANE?
While it was claimed that radar images had emerged, no clear information was shared regarding whether Cristiano Ronaldo was on the private jet. Allegations that the Portuguese star evacuated his family from the country for security reasons quickly became a trending topic on social media.
ASIAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCH POSTPONED
On the other hand, the quarter-final match that Al Nassr, the team Ronaldo plays for, was supposed to play against Al-Wasl in the Asian Champions League in Dubai was postponed to a later date due to security concerns. The decisions of players like Karim Benzema, Darwin Nunez, Theo Hernandez, Joao Felix, Youssef En-Nesyri, and national footballers Merih Demiral and Yusuf Akçiçek, who play in Saudi Arabia, have also become a matter of curiosity.
ROMANO: RONALDO DID NOT LEAVE THE COUNTRY
