Al Nassr‘s preseason is nearing its final stage. The team, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, is wrapping up its preparation, gearing up for a new season in the Saudi league.

As they finalize preparations for their last friendly match before the start of official competition, CR7 was surprised by the presence of a global soccer star who came by to extend his greetings.

After a competitive preparation tour in the United States, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City has returned to the Old Continent. It was actually a player from the City squad who visited the training facility where Al Nassr is currently preparing.
