Fans in awe of young Cristiano Ronaldo fan's bravery as he sports Al-Nassr shirt at Barcelona's Camp Nou.

Fans were left stunned by a young Cristiano Ronaldo fan walking into Barcelona's Camp Nou with an Al-Nassr jersey during a stadium tour.

A video depicts a young fan sporting the Saudi Pro League club's home kit with 'Ronaldo 7' printed on the back. Spotify Camp Nou is, of course, the home ground of Real Madrid's biggest rivals.

Fans were left in awe of the young kid's bravery to sport Ronaldo's shirt at a stadium which considers Lionel Messi as their hero and the Portuguese icon, the antagonist. One fan wrote on Twitter:

"I love this kid. Protect him!"

Another added:

"young legend"

Here are more reactions from a select few fans on Twitter:

Cristiano Ronaldo spent nine seasons at Real Madrid before jumping ship to Juventus in the summer of 2018. During that time, he had some memorable encounters at Barcelona's home ground, none more so than his goal at Camp Nou in April 2012.

Ronaldo scored in the 73rd minute to hand Real Madrid a 2-1 win in gameweek 35 and proceeded to the now iconic 'calma' celebration in front of the home fans. It ultimately helped his team become the first La Liga side in history to amass 100 points in a season.

The former Manchester United superstar has scored 14 times in 13 games at Camp Nou - more than at any other away stadium in his career. He is currently plying his trade at Al-Nassr, where he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract as a player in January.

So far, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has scored 12 goals in 16 appearances across competitions for his new club.


Barcelona legend has offer to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr - reports

According to Tribal Football (h/t Yardbarker), Sergio Busquets has an offer on the table to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

Busquets and Ronaldo played as rivals for over a decade during their time at Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively. The legendary Spanish midfielder, 34, is on a contract that expires this summer.

However, Busquets will not make a decision on his future until Barcelona are confirmed as La Liga champions. The Catalan giants have offered him a new deal with a possible pay cut, while MLS side Inter Miami are also interested in securing his signature.

Barca have a 13-point lead atop the league table after 33 league games. They will win their first La Liga trophy since the 2018-19 season regardless of other results if they beat Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium on May 14.
