After playing two games of suspension that came “in the luggage” he brought from Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo will finally make his official debut today (17:30) in the Al-Nasr jersey. Against Al Attifaq and with a sell-out crowd, the 37-year-old Portuguese star will once again be in the spotlight in Riyadh after already blazing with a double in the All-Star game against PSG. Now the effect of the CR7 is already being felt off the pitch, and sales in the official Al Nassr store are a sign of this: according to Marca, 400 shirts are sold per day, with only 7 and Ronaldo on the back, of course.
The Spanish newspaper writes that it’s not the price of the T-shirts, which sell for $100 (about 92 euros), that scares buyers off: today, on matchday, only children’s sizes or XXXL are available.
